The United States Basketball League (USBL) is a professional men's basketball league.
The league's name and trademarks are licensed from the defunct United States Basketball League (1985–2008).
USBL's regular season runs from March through May.
History In the summer of 2025, owners of thirteen teams from The Basketball League (TBL) met in Las Vegas, deciding to leave TBL and revive the United States Basketball League (USBL). They criticized TBL as a pyramid scheme, with league owner Dave Magley having too much power over the individual teams.
Executives appointed in 2025 included San Diego Surf owner David Otto as chief executive officer, former Las Vegas Stars owner Ingrid Hutt as league president, and former CBA/PBL/USBL figurehead Dennis Truax as league commissioner.
Eight teams originally announced to be part of the USBL revival revealed on February 6, 2026 that they would instead form 94x50 League.
The league announced in March 2026 that Jontay Porter would resume his professional career as a member of the Seattle Super Hawks after receiving a lifetime ban from the NBA for gambling.
