Basketball is on the rise in Germany
In general, basketball has become more popular in Germany recently. About 68 million people are familiar with the sport, although interest has stagnated. Nevertheless, the German Basketball Association (DBB) has recorded an increase in membership numbers since 2015, with a record number at the beginning of 2024. This development could also benefit local clubs that are looking for new talent at the grassroots level.
The German national team has celebrated impressive successes in recent years. After winning the World Cup in 2023 and the European title in September 2025, where Dennis Schröder was once again named MVP, the basketball community is looking to the future with confidence. Good prospects for the sport, which is becoming more and more popular – from the streets and halls to the big leagues.
