The 2025 TBL season is the eighth season of The Basketball League (TBL).

League changes

League President David Magley also announced that TBL would be planning to further expand into The Maritimes for the 2025 season.[1] It was announced that the Halifax Hoopers and Tri City Tide would represent the region for the 2025 season. Due to scheduling changes teams in the Mid Atlantic and North Atlantic Conferences would play one another.

On August 28, 2024, the Glass City Wranglers announced they would depart for the Basketball Super League for the 2024–2025 season.[2] In October 2024, the Connecticut Crusaders announced they were relocating from Bridgeport, Connecticut to New Haven, Connecticut.[3] The Tri-State Admirals announced that they would play a hybrid schedule competing against teams in the Basketball Super League.
