The Basketball National League (BNL) is the pre-eminent male professional basketball league in South Africa. The league was founded in 2013, however, before the Premier Basketball League had been running as the country's premier basketball league.
The league also has a female counterpart, the Women's Basketball National League, which was established in 2021.[1]
Egoli Magic are the most successful club in league history, having won five championships. The current champions are the Cape Town Tigers, who won the 2023 season.
