The All-First Team is an annual Basketball Africa League (BAL) honor bestowed on the best players in the league following every BAL season. The first selections were announced on 4 June 2021 after the inaugural season. Thus far, fifteen players from eight different teams have been named to the all-league team.
In the first three seasons, the league announced just one all-BAL team, however, in 2024 a second-team honor was added.[1]
