The LFB, or the French Basketball League, has released figures showing the economic impact of the La Boulangère Wonderligue, the top-tier women's basketball competition in France. The 12 clubs involved generate an annual economic impact of 35 million euros and support 290 full-time equivalent jobs. The study was conducted by the Centre de Droit et d'Économie du Sport (CDES) in Limoges, a research center focused on sports law and economics. The findings were presented during the season launch on September 19, 2026, at Roland-Garros, a famous tennis stadium in Paris, where the Champion's Match was also held as part of the Fulfil Supercoupe of the LNB, the men's basketball league in France. LFB president Carole Force shared the results of the 2025-26 season, which saw more than 308,000 spectators attend games, with an average of 1,942 people per match. The league also reached a wide audience through media, with 38 matches broadcast on Sport en France, a popular sports channel. For the upcoming 2026-27 season, the LFB is introducing a new format. Instead of a playdown system, teams ranked 8th to 11th will compete in a two-round play-in, with the winner advancing to the playoffs. This change aims to add more excitement and competitive balance to the season. The regular season for the 2026-27 campaign will run from September 26, 2026, to March 21, 2027, as outlined in the calendar released in July. Throughout the season, the LFB will host the Assises of women's basketball in November. This event will bring together key figures in the sport to discuss its future direction through the 2029-2030 period. Meanwhile, Basket Landes, who won the French championship for the second consecutive year, will look to defend their title in the upcoming season. The full CDES study, which details the economic and social impact of the La Boulangère Wonderligue, is available online for those interested in further reading.
