The British Basketball League has launched an All-Star voting platform, providing fans with a unique opportunity to shape the men’s and women’s line-ups for the star-studded event at the Copper Box Arena on March 17.

The All-Star Games will see the best of the best from the BBL come together for one day only in a North v South showdown, as rivals become teammates and fans can witness their favourite players battling together - and against each other.

Fans can visit the All-Star voting webpage and pick their favourites for the North v South starting fives: they can select one centre, two forwards and two guards per team, and there is no limit on how many players from one club can be picked in the starting five.

Voting closes on February 15 at 7pm and the players with the most votes will be selected to start in their respective teams.

With 10 men’s teams and 11 women’s teams across the UK, the North v South rivalry will be greater than ever on March 17.

The split of teams is as follows - Men, North: Caledonia Gladiators, Cheshire Phoenix, Manchester Giants, Seriös Group Newcastle Eagles, B. Braun Sheffield Sharks. South: Bristol Flyers, Leicester Riders, London Lions, Plymouth City Patriots, Surrey Scorchers.

Women, North: Caledonia Gladiators, Durham Palatinates, Manchester Giants, Seriös Group Newcastle Eagles, B. Braun Sheffield Hatters. South: Cardiff Met Archers, Essex Rebels, Leicester Riders, London Lions, Nottingham Wildcats, Oaklands Wolves.

Visit: britishbasketballleague.com/all-star-vote-2024 to vote for your men’s starting fives, and visit: wbbl.org.uk/all-star-vote-2024 to vote for your women’s starting fives.

Choose your favourite players for both North and South teams using the interactive court. Download your selected teams and share on social media to rally support.

The two top-performing North and South coaches in the League will be chosen as the head coaches for each team. These coaches will have the responsibility of selecting the reserves next month, with one selected from every team.

The All-Star voting allows fans to seize the opportunity to make their voices heard and gives them the power to have their favourite players grace the court on March 17, in what will be a momentous day in British basketball.
