Canadian Elite Basketball League and CBC Sports Sign Five-Year Broadcast Partnership

The Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) and CBC have reached a landmark five-year broadcast partnership, starting with the upcoming 2026 CEBL season. 

The partnership will feature marquee games on CBC TV, including the league’s first-ever best-of-three CEBL Finals, with all games live-streamed on CBC Gem and the CBC Sports YouTube channel.

“Partnering with CBC Sports brings the CEBL to more Canadians on a trusted national stage, and expands access across digital platforms including CBC Gem and YouTube, giving basketball fans of all ages more choice in how they follow our biggest moments,” said CEBL President and CEO Ty Mazereeuw. 

CBC Sports was the league’s broadcast partner for its inaugural seasons from 2019 through 2022, and with the new partnership, for the next five years CBC Sports will offer select regular-season games on CBC TV and all regular-season and playoff games on CBC Gem and CBC Sports YouTube. Available platforms will also include CEBL+. The CEBL’s full 2026 broadcast schedule and more broadcast-related announcements are coming soon.

“Canadian basketball is having a moment right now on the world stage, and through our partnership with the CEBL, we can bring the energy and momentum of Canada’s top young players to fans across the country,” said Chris Wilson, Executive Director, Sports and Olympics, CBC. “We are excited to share the excitement from the court with wider audiences on CBC’s platforms, and to interact with and serve local fans in CEBL locations across Canada.”
