The 37th BBL Trophy takes a new format for the 2023–24 season. Wholly played within the month of January and during a break in Championship matches, two five team groups were randomly drawn from the 10 member clubs. Each club will play the other once, home or away. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the Final Four weekend at Arena Birmingham, to be played on 28 and 29 January 2023.[5]
The 2024 BBL Playoffs will be played in April and May 2024, consisting of four best-of-three quarterfinals series, two best-of-three semifinal series and the Playoff Final game. In the quarterfinals, semifinals, the higher seed hosts the first and third games. The Playoff Final will be played at The O2 Arena, London.
