Swiss Basketball currently has more than 17,000 members, from its nine regional associations, comprising 185 clubs.[1]

Formerly, basketball in Switzerland was mainly governed by the Ligue Nationale de Basket (LNBA).[2] In 2016, the LNBA merged with the Fédération Suisse de Basketball to form Swiss Basketball.
