The British Basketball League Championship, often shortened to the BBL Championship, was the top-level men's professional basketball league in the United Kingdom from 1987 until 2024. The competition was administered by the British Basketball League and comprised 10 teams from both England and Scotland. Each team played a 36-game regular season, from September until April, with the team that finished in first place being crowned as League champions.
Following the end of the regular season, the top eight-placed teams used to advance to the postseason Playoffs tournament to decide the winner of the BBL Playoffs.
The BBL used a franchise system, with no promotion or relegation from other leagues, although several clubs have been elected from the English National Basketball League in recent years.
