The Midwest Basketball League (MBL) is a semi-professional men's basketball league which operates in the Midwestern United States.

History

Established in 2015, the Midwest Basketball League (MBL) is about providing fans with an exciting and entertaining experience. The Midwest Basketball League is for developing athletes, providing them exposure, and giving them the opportunity to move ahead in their career.

Eleven teams are scheduled to compete in the inaugural 2016 season. Regular season games began in April 2016[1] followed by a post-season in August 2016.[2]

After five games the Chicago Clovers were removed from the league. Lincoln Lions, who were playing a limited schedule as a "branding" team, took the place of the Clovers. Northern Indiana Monarchs also were removed after playing seven games.
