Expanding Opportunities for Basketball Players
For too long, college basketball players in the U.S. have faced a harsh reality—after graduation, the only professional option at home has been the NBA. And with so few spots available, even highly skilled players often see their dreams cut short.
That’s where USBN (United States Basketball Network) comes in. We’re dedicated to expanding professional basketball in America beyond the NBA, giving players more opportunities to play at home. USBN is the home of pro basketball outside the NBA, connecting teams, players, and fans like never before.
Our signature event, the United States Basketball Championship 2025 USBC , is the only tournament that determines the true champion of professional basketball in the nation. Our vision is bold—building USBN into the third-strongest basketball league in the world, just behind the NBA and G-League.
What Does the USBN & NAIA Partnership Mean for You?
Neither USBN nor NAIA sits at the top of the basketball pyramid, and that’s okay—because excellence exists beyond the top. Together, we’re creating something bigger:
? More Career Opportunities for NAIA Players – A real path to continue playing professional basketball after college.
? Increased Revenue for Schools – New financial opportunities through media partnerships and events.
? Student & Faculty Engagement – Paid internships, hands-on media experience, and more ways to involve your school’s community.
? Enhanced Athletic Departments – Strengthening college basketball programs by bridging the gap between college and pro careers.
USBN is excited to work with NAIA schools to grow opportunities for players, programs, and communities. Let’s talk about how we can build something great together.
