After the inaugural season in 2021 was disrupted due to the Covid pandemic, it is a both a testament to our student-athletes and member universities that the competition has expanded to include five states and will see over 100 games being played.

The 2022 UBL will include eight weeks of round games commencing on Monday 21 March and culminates in a new home and away finals format to determine the 2022 UBL champions.

“The opportunity to represent their university in a national tournament was highly valued by the seven founding teams in 2021 so we are looking forward to a bigger and better UBL in 2022.” UniSport CEO Mark Sinderberry says.

“With 11 universities from five states, 110 games will be played on campuses across Australia as well as livestreamed on UniSportTV, our new broadcast platform. UniSportTV, powered by Cluch, provides free access to watch the games live, or catch up on replays or highlights”.
