SEASON STRUCTURE

On August 26, Basketball England announced the provisional dates of a return to competitive action for your Bradford Dragons. NBL Division One play for the 2020/2021 season is scheduled to begin on the weekend of the 24/25 October. Basketball England also confirmed that if the season is able to proceed as normal, the NBL Playoffs are scheduled to begin on April 24/25, 2021.
 
Following a meeting of Basketball England’s Leagues and Competitions Advisory Group, it was decided that there would be no promotion and relegation between any of the National Basketball divisions following the 2020/21 season. After hearing feedback from clubs across the senior and junior leagues, the decision was made to mitigate the challenges caused by COVID.
 
The newly created Challenge Cup for NBL Division One teams will be played across three weekends, the 3/4, 10/11, and 17/18 October and will serve as a trial for the upcoming season. Further details on the competition will be announced in the coming weeks.
 
Following discussions between Basketball England’s Leagues and Competitions Advisory Group and the working groups for the NBL Division One and WNBL Division One it was announced that the prestigious National Cup will not take place in the 2020/21 season. Basketball England announced on September 10 that the move aims to help avoid potential fixture congestion later in the season.

RETURN TO PLAY ROADMAP
​

Despite Bradford currently being under local lockdown for COVID, Basketball England in accordance with government guidance, has updated all areas to Level 2 on their Return to Play Roadmap. Previously Bradford was placed at Level 4 in July, the guidance allowed only individual training sessions with a member of your household and no club training sessions.
