The Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEL) announced Wednesday that it will increase its regular season to 24 games in 2025, meaning the total number of games in the regular schedule will increase from 100 to 120 next summer. Additionally, the season will start about a week earlier next year, at the beginning of May, and end two weeks later in August.

The 2025 LECB season, which will be the seventh in the history of the league, will thus have the largest number of matches and will be the longest since the creation of the circuit. With the exception of the 2020 and 2021 seasons, which were shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic, the LECB regular season consisted of 20 games since the league’s debut in 2019. Since 2022, the schedule has included 100 regular season games scheduled from late May to early August each year.

“With an expanded schedule and a longer window to play our games next summer, our fans will have more options that suit them, including more weekend games and two additional home dates to watch their teams and favorite stars in action,” said Mike Morreale, commissioner and co-founder of the LECB. “As we continue to make giant strides across all of our operations, it is clear that fans and partners want more CEBL basketball and that our players deserve more opportunities to showcase their skills and to earn more money. We are pleased to be able to offer all of this as we prepare for an exciting new season in 2025.”

More than 50 LECB matches will be broadcast live nationally on TSN and Game+ in 2024, in addition to eight matches presented in French on RDS. Fans can also watch all regular season, playoff and Championship Weekend games live on CEBL+, TSN+ and the CEBL Mobile app for iOS and Android devices. Next Level Sports & Entertainment, the CEBL’s U.S. home, will broadcast 40 games for U.S. audiences in 2024, while the international streaming service, Courtside1891, will broadcast 27 games for subscribers outside of North America.

The Turkish government accuses Germany of “xenophobia”.

Demiral had shown the wolf salute with his hands after scoring a goal in Turkey’s round of 16 match against Austria, which is considered a symbol of the right-wing extremist Turkish “Grey Wolves”. In Germany, the group has 18,500 members, making it the largest right-wing extremist organization in the country. The “Grey Wolves” are not banned, but they are monitored by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

The wolf salute is not banned in Germany. “The symbols of Turkish right-wing extremists have no place in our stadiums,” wrote German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser on the X platform (Twitter). “Using the European Football Championship as a platform for racism is completely unacceptable.” She called on the European Football Association (UEFA) to investigate the case and consider sanctions, which it agreed to.
