Casual basketball fans too can download the app & without needing to login, keep track of their favorite teams, players and results. 

The app is available for download on both Android and iOS platforms. 

“Having successfully completed two seasons, we felt the time is right to digitize our operations further via the launch of our app,” Rohit Bakshi, Commissioner – 3BL, explained the decision. “We have ensured that the app is as user friendly as possible so that we can receive maximum registrations without any hitches. This is the first time that an app has been launched exclusively for the Indian basketball community, and we at 3BL, are excited to continue setting many firsts.”

In addition to the app, earlier this year, 3BL also launched its own line of exclusive merchandise that can be purchased via its website (www.3x3bl.com). It is important to recall that Season 2 made history by inaugurating the first ever women’s division of 3BL, featuring six teams.

The new tryout dates for the upcoming Season 3 will be announced keeping in mind prevalent COVID related health safety protocols. Tryouts are expected to be held across four cities – Chandigarh, Aizawl, Chennai & Goa.
