Bamberg Baskets get off to a furious start: start of the season against Löwen in Braunschweig!
The anticipation for the new basketball Bundesliga season is increasing noticeably. The BMA365 Bamberg Baskets Open the new BBL season with an away game against the Basketball Lions in Braunschweig. The start of the season on September 30, 2025 will bring a breath of fresh air into the halls and let fans dream of quality and thrills. Bamberg's home game against RASTA Vechta, originally scheduled for the beginning of October, had to be postponed due to Vechta's participation in the qualification for the FIBA Europe Cup. A new date is still pending, while Bayern will face NINERS Chemnitz on October 26th.
Training is already going on diligently in Braunschweig because the Lions are excited for the start of the season. In the last game before the FIBA break they showed a strong comeback against SYNTAINICS MBC. After a difficult start in which they were down by 14 points at halftime, they increased their defense and turned the game around. Above all, Ahmaad Rorie, who hit a decisive three-pointer for the 88:81 victory. The spectators in the Volkswagen Hall were able to look forward to an exciting match attended by 2,868 fans.
Positive development in viewer numbers
An analysis of viewer numbers is also underway as part of the upcoming season. Like the page Lees Corner reports, the BBL only publishes viewership numbers for individual games and not for the entire season. In order to create transparency, a dedicated user decided to collect and display the numbers himself. These figures also include the capacities of the various venues, which has something interesting to offer for fans and management alike.
What is particularly striking is that the home games in Heidelberg with 10,454 spectators in the SAP Arena and the two Göttingen home games in the Lokhalle with 3,700 spectators create a good picture. These figures make it clear that basketball is still booming in Germany and is attracting fans to the halls.
The Lions in Braunschweig are not only strong on the field, but also in the audience response. Armed with this positive energy, the team is heading into the coming season, which promises many exciting duels and unforgettable basketball moments. The fan base can look forward to nerve-wracking games and the fight for places in the table.
