The 1935–36 MBC season was the first, inaugural season of the Midwest Basketball Conference (a league that has been considered by sports historians to either be an amateur basketball league or a semipro basketball league) under that name before it got rebranded into the U.S.A.'s National Basketball League (NBL), with it also being considered the first official season for that league as well before properly utilizing the National Basketball League name in its future.
