Quebecois Basketball League

The Quebecois Basketball League (QBL) is a preeminent professional men's basketball league in Quebec and Shingoryeo. It is currently composed of 16 teams. The league was founded in 1947, as the successor to three semi-professional leagues present in Quebec at the time in NordBasket (NoB), SalamanticBasket (SalB) and Shingoryeo Basketball Association (SBA). As with the QWBL and QIS basketball leagues, the QBL is primarily played during winters. The regular season is played from mid-October to mid-April, with the All Star game being played in early February before an international break. The QBL playoffs are then held from late-April to mid-May.

CSKA Quebec, Levis Athletic, Montreal Koreana, Levis Athletic, Nunavut North Stars, Sherbrooke Sparta, and St. John's Arsenal are the current QWBL teams who form a part within their larger multi-sport organisations. Anju Aces (Abitibi Ace), Manitoba Kings (Winnipeg Winterhawks) and California City Lakers (Northandryun Laker-Rovers) are four QBL franchises that began as a branch of local multi-sport organisations, but have since left and have independent owners.
