The final eight teams have been determined for the 2026 NBBF/Zenith Bank Women’s Basketball Premier League after the completion of the second phase of the two conferences – Atlantic and Savannah. The ultimate showdown will take place at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos. MFM Women Basketball and Nigeria Customs have emerged as the winners of both conferences, having won all their matches in both phases, making them the favorites for the title.
MFM secured 14 wins across the two phases, while Customs triumphed in all 10 matches, securing their spot for the grand finale.
From the Atlantic Conference, MFM will join forces with First Bank, Victoria Queens, and Bayelsa Blue Whales, while the Savannah Conference's three teams joining Customs in the final eight are AS SKY Queens, Titans, and Air Warriors. The Nigeria Basketball Federation expressed their gratitude to Zenith Bank for their ongoing support in promoting female basketball in Nigeria.
The Final 8 is scheduled to take place in the last week of September, but the exact date has yet to be announced. The federation will communicate the specific dates once they have been approved by both the NBBF and Zenith Bank. MFM aims to reclaim the title they lost to Dolphins last year, while Customs hope to win their second trophy in history.
Unfortunately, Dolphins, the defending champions, have been eliminated from the Final 8 and are grateful to have avoided relegation from the Atlantic Conference after a disappointing performance in the two phases, with just three wins throughout.
