How Much Does It Cost to Join a Basketball League?

A basketball league in Winnipeg costs $1,650 to $3,650 per team for a season, or $175 to $375 per player where a league sells single spots. Those are the published prices at Peg City Basketball and the Winnipeg Basketball League. Every league lists its fees, deposits and extra charges on a different page, so we put them in one table below, with DBA's fee.

The Disciples Basketball Association (DBA) is an affordable men's basketball league in Winnipeg, with 11 games plus playoffs for each team in Fall 2026. The next season is Winter 2027 3v3, and you can see the current fees on our basketball team registration page.

Winnipeg men's league fees for 2026‑27

We compared what a men's league season costs in Winnipeg using each league's published team fee, per-player price and deposit. Each source link opens the league's own page, so you can check the current fee before you register. Prices for hockey and other rec leagues in Winnipeg are in a separate post.

Prices checked on November 10, 2026.

Each league's team fee split across 10 players

For adults, the cost per player depends on how many teammates split the team fee. We divided each fee below by 10 players and by the number of regular‑season games.

We used 10 players for every league, so the figures line up. Peg City publishes its own prices for one player: $375 for Peg City Premier and $175 for Peg City Classic. Both are a little higher than the team fee split 10 ways. If you're registering on your own, use DBA's free agent sign-up. Its fee is listed with the team fees.

Each league adds or includes other charges besides the team fee:

• Peg City Basketball, from its FAQ
  • $9 a year for Canada Basketball
  • $37 a year for Basketball Manitoba insurance
  • A $200 default deposit, with $100 going to the opponent for each forfeit
