THE DAKOTA BASKETBALL LEAGUE IS HERE.

Join us Saturday, January 9, 2027, at the Minot Municipal Auditorium for the 2027 Dakota Basketball League Showcase — the first major look at the players, teams, and entertainment behind North Dakota’s newest adult basketball league.

The DBL Showcase brings together talent representing all five inaugural franchises — the Minot Outlaws, Bismarck Capitalists, Fargo Reapers, Grand Forks Huskies, and Williston Roughnecks — for a full day of basketball and entertainment as we build toward the league’s inaugural 2027 season.

The day begins with a Youth Basketball Clinic at 8:30 AM, followed by two Showcase Games at 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM. At 3:00 PM, players take center stage for the DBL Skills Showcase, featuring competitions including the 3-Point Contest, Dunk Contest, Half-Court Challenge, and fan challenges.

The day culminates with the DBL Showcase Championship at 5:00 PM, featuring a live championship performance by Dakotah Faye, with DJ Cav bringing the music and energy throughout the event.

Come meet the players, experience the DBL atmosphere, and get an early look at what's coming when the Dakota Basketball League officially tips off its inaugural season in 2027.
