The German Basketball Association (DBB) and the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) have increased its basic contract prematurely until at least 2032. That communicated both organizations. In the contract, the cooperation of Association and Liga is regulated, including the removal of national players. For this purpose, the BBL has leased the right of the association to organize the German championship and the national trophy, among other things. The new basic contract begins on 1 July 2022 and is valid for ten years. If the agreement will not be terminated until June 30, 2031, it will be extended for another five years until June 30, 2037. Now we have planning security for many years and can work together for the basketball in Germany, said DBB President Ingo Weiss .
