The Manitoba capital will now stage a second Canadian sports championship in 2025.
The Winnipeg Sea Bears will host the Canadian Elite Basketball League’s championship weekend in August 2025 at the downtown arena. The club, along with provincial and city officials, made the announcement Tuesday morning.
The CFL championship (Grey Cup) has already been awarded to Winnipeg for November 2025.
The pro hoops celebration includes the top CEBL teams competing to win the league championship trophy, a concert lineup, minor basketball events, and other community activities.
“The basketball community in Winnipeg has demonstrated overwhelming support for the Sea Bears and the CEBL since Day 1, and they continue to establish Winnipeg as a basketball hotbed, quickly setting the standard for excellence in our league,” said Mike Morreale, commissioner and co-founder of the CEBL.
Montreal is slated to host the 2024 championship weekend.
