London Lions Women have raised the bar for women’s basketball in the UK over the last three years. The trailblazing side enjoyed unparalleled success on both the domestic and international stage culminating in their Women’s EuroCup to cap off the 2023/2024 season. Now the Londoners are focused on a first-ever season of the Super League Basketball (SLB) Championship. The season runs from October through until May, culminating in the Women’s and Men’s Play-off Finals at The O2. London Lions women tickets are on sale.
The 2021/2022 season saw the Lions complete a perfect 34-0 record in the WBBL and secure a clean sweep of WBBL Cup, Trophy, league and play-off silverware. And in 2022/2023 they backed up that remarkable achievement by once again claiming a quadruple of domestic trophies, in so doing confirming their status as the best ever side to play in the WBBL (main picture above).
HISTORIC 2023/2024 SEASON
Then in 2023/2024 the Lions upped the ante winning all 14 of their domestic fixtures and becoming the British club team to win a European competition. Turkish side Besiktas were defeated in the second leg of the Women’s EuroCup on a extraordinary night of drama at the Copper Box Arena last April. Heading into the match with a 7-point deficit from the first leg, the Lions turned things around to win 149-145 after Holly Winterburn had put the hosts in a winning position with just 12 seconds remaining.
2024/2025 SEASON
It’s been a rollercoaster few months following their European triumph. London Lions are not be taking part in European competition this season. After a change of ownership at the club, they are channeling their energies into the domestic scene. And with a new roster of players it’s been a tough season so far for the London side who are currently bottom of the table and still searching for their first win. The Super League Basketball Women’s Championship reaches a conclusion with the Play-Off Finals taking place at The O2 on Sunday 18 May.
