Wheelchair Basketball on the BBC

The inaugural season of the British Wheelchair Basketball Women’s Premier League begins on Saturday 22 January 2022 – and you can watch it live on the BBC.

The league is the first of its kind worldwide, and the UK’s first women’s professional Para-sport league.

Worcester Wolves take on Loughborough Lightning in the opening match.

Among the Loughborough squad are Tokyo Paralympians Laurie Williams, Jude Hamer, Robyn Love, Lucy Robinson and Siobhan Fitzpatrick.

“This is a significant moment, not just for wheelchair basketball but for British Paralympic sport,” said UK Sport chief executive Sally Munday.

“I’m delighted the BBC is supporting one of our most exciting and dynamic Paralympic sports.”

Cardiff Met Archers and East London Phoenix are the other teams competing for the title.

Each team will play each other three times with the finals held on 14 May.
