Welcome to the University of Leicester Basketball Club

Our Club

Basketball isn't just a sport here — it's a heartbeat. It pulses through campus and through the city of Leicester itself. Last year, we shattered records with a full-capacity crowd roaring us to victory over rivals DMU in the Varsity showdown, standing shoulder to shoulder with the electric energy of BBL powerhouse, the Leicester Riders. Basketball is woven into the very identity of this city, and we're proud to be at the heart of it.

We're more than a club — we're a family. Tight-knit, driven, and built on a culture of respect, hustle, and genuine friendship. Joining us means stepping into a community where lifelong friendships are forged, unforgettable nights are made, and the game we love is played with real passion.

And here's the best part: there's a place for absolutely everyone. Whether you've never picked up a basketball or you're already dreaming of being the next MJ, this is your court. Join our page today and discover everything the University of Leicester Basketball Club has to offer.

This season is shaping up to be our biggest, boldest yet — with ambitious plans to supercharge our membership and elevate our basketball offering to new heights. The future is bright, and it starts now.
