List of BAL finals
The Basketball Africa League (BAL) is a seasonal basketball league established in 2019 and first held in 2021. The league is a joint venture by the National Basketball Association (NBA) and FIBA, and is open to national champions of FIBA Africa member countries. The finals of each season are played in a single-game format, which is held at an arena that is chosen by the BAL organisation. The winner automatically qualifies for that year's FIBA Intercontinental Cup.
The data below does not include the FIBA Africa Club Champions Cup, the predecessor of the BAL that was held between 1972 and 2019.
Zamalek won the inaugural final in 2021. Petro de Luanda are the current champions, having won the 2024 final. Four different teams have won the BAL championship so far. Egyptian teams have won the competition the most times with two wins. Al Ahli Tripoli is the only team that has started from the Road to BAL qualifiers to have won the finals.
The first parentheses in the champions and runners-up columns indicate the teams' playoff seed. The second parentheses indicate the number of times that teams have appeared in an BAL Finals as well as each respective team's BAL Finals record to date.
Teams from three nations have been to a BAL final, and teams from two countries have won the competition thus far.
The finals are played in a pre-determined venue, from 2021 to 2023 this was the BK Arena (formerly the Kigali Arena) in Kigali as the BAL agreed with the Rwandan Ministry of Sports. Later, the BAL and the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) agreed to host the finals of 2024, 2026 and 2028 as well.
Clubs denoted in italics and an asterisk lost the finals in the given year.
