Port Harcourt to Host 2026 NPBL Finals in September
The Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) announced that Port Harcourt will host the 2026 Nigeria Premier Basketball League (NPBL) Final Four from September 20 to 22, 2026. This decision was made after a venue clash necessitated rescheduling the tournament.
The communiqué was signed by Men’s Premier League Chairman Babatunde Ogunade and NBBF Secretary General Amina O. Amanchi.
The four qualifying teams—Rivers Hoopers, Maktown Flyers, Gboko City Chiefs, and Aso Sky Hawks—were congratulated for their performance throughout the season. Rivers Hoopers secured their place by finishing first in the playoffs with a 6-1 record.
The tournament will feature a round-robin format, with technical meetings scheduled for September 19. The team with the best record at the end of the tournament will be crowned the 2026 NPBL champion and will earn a ticket to the 2027 Basketball Africa League season.
