The British Basketball League (BBL) today confirmed the fixtures and dates for the remainder of the 2020-21 season.

Following the conclusion of the BBL Cup Quarter Finals, the BBL Championship, which returns to teams playing each other three times, will commence on Thursday 3 December, with a double header live on Sky Sports.
