"CBC Sports was the league's initial broadcast partner. When the CEBL became the first pro sports league in Canada to resume play during covid, CBC broadcasted those games inside CEBL's bubble. The league adapted during a chaotic start, switched their broadcast partership to TSN from 2023-25, but have now returned to CBC Sports for the next five seasons."
"The CEBL continues to maintain their reputation as a premier destination for pros looking to keep their swords sharp during the summers. Former NBA player and last season's MVP Mitch Creek has played in the league for two seasons, and showered nothing but praise for 2025 Coach of the Year Kyle Julius and his Vancouver Bandits."
"We feel we are the number one player development destination in the summer, said Julius confidently about the Bandits. But this also applies to the league as a whole. NBA Summer League no longer has a monopoly on pro summer league basketball as the CEBL has a 24-game regul"
The Canadian Elite Basketball League has renewed its broadcast partnership with CBC Sports for five seasons, marking a return to its original broadcast partner. CBC Sports initially covered the CEBL during its pandemic bubble launch and will now resume coverage starting May 9th. The league has established itself as a premier summer destination for professional basketball players, including former NBA players and international pros seeking to maintain competitive form. Notable players like Mitch Creek, Khalil Ahmad, and Tyrese Samuel have showcased the league's development capabilities. CBC's coverage extends beyond the CEBL to include U Sports basketball and emerging Canadian talent, positioning the network as a comprehensive platform for Canadian basketball content.
