The Canadian Elite Basketball League unveiled its 2024 regular season schedule Tuesday, again consisting of 100 regular season games to be played in 10 Canadian cities in six provinces this summer.
The league's sixth campaign will kick off on May 21 when the Calgary Surge host the Edmonton Stingers at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
There will be 14 tripleheaders and 20 doubleheaders on the schedule, including a Canada Day doubleheader featuring the Saskatchewan Rattlers against the Stingers at 6pm ET followed by the Niagara River Lions battling the Vancouver Bandits in the late slot.
“It’s an exciting time across the entire CEBL as we look forward to our sixth season of world-class basketball and first-class entertainment,” said Mike Morreale, commissioner and co-founder of the CEBL.
“Our first five seasons have proven that Canada’s domestic talent is among the best in the world, and the CEBL is a mainstay among pro sports leagues in North America. Opening the 2024 season at Calgary’s Saddledome is an exciting reflection of the continued growth of Canada’s professional basketball league.”
The 2023 CEBL Champion Scarborough Shooting Stars will open with three games on the road before returning to Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre for their home opener and championship celebration on Saturday, June 1, against the River Lions.
