The 2026 edition of the BAL consists of three phases: the first took place in March in Pretoria, South Africa, followed by the current round in Rabat from April 24 to May 3. The final phase is set to take place later this month at the BK Arena in Kigali. This tournament has not only highlighted the talents within African basketball but has also fostered a spirit of unity and sportsmanship among the participating teams.
