Ahead of the new season launch this weekend, the BBL is today delighted to confirm the fixtures and dates for the BBL Cup competition.
As previously announced, thanks to the commitment of financial support from the Government due to the loss of income from spectators, the 2020-21 season will now tip off on Saturday 31 October behind closed doors, with the BBL Cup.
The BBL Cup is now split into three groups with the bottom teams in each group, after the qualifying stages being eliminated.
The Group Stages of the Cup will run until the end of November, with the Quarter Finals taking place between 11-13 December and the Semi-Finals 08-10 January 2021.
The Final will be taking place on Sunday 24 January 2021.
