Welcome to Edinburgh University Basketball Club (EUBC)!
We currently have eight teams within the club: five men’s teams and three women’s teams, competing across various levels. Our squads participate in a range of competitions, including the Scottish National League, British University and Colleges Sport (BUCS), and Scottish Student Sports competitions.
With a diverse array of teams, EUBC offers basketball opportunities for everyone, from beginners to elite performance levels. We proudly became the first Scottish basketball representatives at the elite level of BUCS competition, with both our men’s and women’s first teams competing in the Northern Premier League. In the 2022/23 and 2024/25 season both our Men’s and Women’s 1st teams claimed victory in the SSS National Championships!
We play our home games at the Pleasance Sport & Exercise Complex and St. Leonard’s Land Games Hall in central Edinburgh. The Pleasance hosted a FIBA competition in 2008 and was the home of the Basketball Scotland National Finals weekend from 2007-2013. Home games take place on Wednesday afternoons and evenings - entry is free, and supporters are always welcome!
