Record breaking BCL season ahead!

September 4, 2025 | Paul Stimpson

The 2025/26 British Clubs Leagues season is a record-breaker, with new tiers, more teams and more divisions. 

No fewer than 374 teams will compete in 40 divisions across every category – and fixtures are now out for every division on TT Leagues. 

For the first time ever, the Senior British Clubs League will feature a SIXTH tier of competition, with two divisions at that level. 

That means a total of 18 divisions this season, up from 16 last season. 

With the Premier Division now eight-strong with the addition of Ormeau and eBaTT, the SBCL has 146 teams, up from 128 last season and a record number. 

Compared with 2021/22, the first season after the pandemic, the entry is up from 13 divisions and 104 teams. 

Meanwhile, in the Women’s BCL, has 44 teams this season – the highest since the pandemic and believed to be a record – who will compete in seven divisions. 

Womens BCL Competition

Entries this year for YBCL were at a record high, with 106 entries for the 92 places available. There will be 15 divisions, comprising five girls’ and 10 boys’. 

There are 30 girls’ teams again this season, the same as in 2022/23 and 23/24 but up four from 26 last season. With 76 boys’ teams entering but only 62 places available, it means 14 teams can now apply for the Junior British Clubs League feeder competition. 

Veterans’ BCL also has a full complement of 92 teams in 15 divisions – 11 men’s and four women’s.  

VBCL and YBCL are again both hosted over two venues – Derby Arena and Draycott & Long Eaton TTC. WBCL is hosted at WV Active Wolverhampton 

Overall, the increased entries in Senior BCL, Women’s BCL and Youth BCL make this the largest overall entry to British Clubs League ever!
