    Ahead of the 2026 NBL, Structure, Stakes, and What to Watch - Avitus Ngabirano
    Jan 8 2026
    Ahead of the 2026 National Basketball League season, This Is Basketball Podcast hosts Avitus Ngabirano, sports journalist and Chief Editor at 2bob Sports, for a focused breakdown of the issues shaping Ugandan basketball before tip-off.

    The episode examines new rules on foreign players, the Under-21 player regulation, and double licensing — what they mean in practice and how clubs are responding. We also analyze confirmed transfers, assess the strengths and weaknesses of promoted sides UMU Flames and UPDF Tomahawks, Pearl Queens and Victoria She Crocs, identify players to watch, and discuss the key wildcard factors that could define the 2026 season.
