Super League Basketball (SLB) is a women's professional basketball league. Established in 2024, the competition replaces the former Women's British Basketball League (WBBL) as the top-level women's basketball competition in Great Britain. It also runs a knockout competition featuring all SLB member teams - the Betty Cododa Trophy.
History The former WBBL was officially approved by the British Basketball League and England Basketball. It was announced to on 5 June 2014, and the 2014–15 season was the league's first full season of competition. On 3 September 2024, it was announced that it would be rebranded under the Super League Basketball umbrella and sit alongside the men's competition.
The Durham Palatinates decided not to continue into the 2025–26 season and as such the league continued with 10 teams.
