The Inner City Super League (ICSL) is a South African semi-professional basketball league for men's and women's teams in Greater Johannesburg, as well as other places in Gauteng. It was founded in 2013 and most of the teams participating are based in the Gauteng province. The league has two men's division, one women's division as well as a junior division.
The league was founded by players from the Braamfontein Blues. Each season usually runs from February to May. In the men's category, Jozi Nuggets and the Braamfontein Blues are the most successful teams with three titles each. Phoenix is the most decorated women's team with four league titles.
Format In each division, a round-robin system is used for the regular season, after which the top four teams advance to the playoffs. In the men's leagues, there is a promotion and relegation system as the last-ranked team from the Division 1 relegates to the Division 2, while the best team from the D2 is promoted.
