The league plays four seasons a year, and the format depends on the season. On nights without a DBA game, you can watch Sea Bears, Bisons and Wesmen games in the city.

We keep 3v3 and 5v5 stats separate.

In Fall 2026, Monday games are at Greendell Community Centre (75 Woodlawn Ave.) in St. Vital, and Friday games are at Valour Community Centre (715 Telfer St N) in the West End. The game times at each one are on the DBA gyms page.

DBA is a private men's basketball league. Every player registers ahead of time, either on our website or by messaging us on Instagram. Spots are limited.

We don't run drop-in games, and we don't rent out gyms. For pickup and open gym, our guide to where to play basketball in Winnipeg lists other options. Players in the league are 18 and older.

A captain registers each team and its players for the season. We place free agents on teams that need players, so you can join without a team. When a team is short a player for one game, a player from the sub list fills the spot.

The league organizer runs DBA, and he has also played for the Showstoppers.

DBA is a Christian men's basketball league, and everyone is welcome to play.

We stream DBA games live on our YouTube channel, and they stay up as replays. After each final, we post the player of the game on Instagram.

Box scores and standings are on our website under DBA stats. Two certified refs work every 5v5 game. The league rules page covers game length, refs and forfeits.
