The website built upon the Unofficial site YourBPL.com which began media coverage of the league in 2007. From 2012, the newly founded 'FB Media' has been producing weekly podcasts which can be downloaded from The Washing Line website featuring prominent guests including James Meyer, Miron Bleiberg, Matt Mundy and a wide variety of coaches and players from the Brisbane Premier League.Some games are covered by PaulyTV and FBTV.
From 2014 to 2015 the Brisbane Premier League was known as the Trophy Superstore Premier League.
This changed in 2016 when Flight Centre became the league sponsors, thus known as the Flight Centre Premier League.
