Zenith Bank NBBF Women’s Basketball League Final 8 Begins
The 2026 Zenith Bank/NBBF Women’s Basketball League Final 8 tournament commenced on September 28 and will run until October 3, 2026, at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos. Eight teams qualified from the Atlantic and Savannah Conferences: Nigeria Customs, AS Sky Queens, Titans, Air Warriors, MFM, First Bank, Victoria Queens, and Bayelsa Blue Whales.
Last year's champions, Dolphins Basketball Club, will not defend their title after failing to finish among the top four teams in the Atlantic Conference. This absence ensures a new champion will emerge in 2026.
First Bank, the most successful team in the league's history with nine titles, enters the tournament as a strong contender, having finished as runner-up last year. MFM, with consecutive championships in 2023 and 2024, also aims for another title.
Zenith Bank has sponsored the league since 2005, supporting the development of women's basketball in Nigeria, which has served as a pathway for players to the national team, D’Tigress.
