Port Harcourt to Host 2026 NPBL Final 4 Tournament
The Nigeria Basketball Federation announced that Port Harcourt will host the 2026 Nigeria Premier Basketball League (NPBL) Final 4 from September 20 to 22, following a venue clash that necessitated rescheduling the tournament. The announcement was made in a communiqué signed by Babatunde Ogunade, the men's Premier League chairman, and Amina Amanchi, the NBBF Secretary General.
Technical meetings for the participating teams are scheduled for September 19, prior to three consecutive game days from September 20 to 22, with teams departing on September 23. The tournament will feature a four-team, round-robin format, where the top clubs in Nigeria will compete for the 2026 NPBL championship and a coveted spot in the 2027 Basketball Africa League season.
Rivers Hoopers qualified for the Final 4 by finishing first in the playoffs with a 6-1 record, followed closely by defending champions Maktown Flyers, also at 6-1. Gboko City Chiefs and Aso Sky Hawks secured third and fourth places, respectively, with 5-2 records.
