London Lions put their undefeated Super League Basketball record on the line Saturday, October 24, 2026, hosting second-place Bristol Flyers at the Copper Box Arena in a game that could determine early-season standings, dazn.com reported.
The defending champions enter the fixture having swept all six of their opening league games, while Bristol arrives with a 4-2 record through six contests. The two sides previously met on September 18, when London edged out an 80-78 victory on the road. Saturday’s matchup marks a rematch against the reigning domestic quadruple-holders.
Copper Box Arena Hosts Early-Season Showdown
London’s start to the 2026-27 campaign follows a dominant 2025-26 season that saw the club capture all four major domestic trophies: the league title, cup, trophy, and playoffs. The Lions have extended that momentum into the new term, most recently securing an 89-72 win over U-BT Cluj-Napoca in EuroCup action on Wednesday, October 21.
Bristol has already demonstrated it can trade blows with the champions. In their September encounter, the Flyers pushed London to the limit on their home floor, ultimately falling by a narrow two-point margin. That performance established Bristol as one of the primary challengers to London’s domestic dominance heading into the weekend.
London and Bristol Battle for Rebounding Dominance
London’s roster features experienced guard Tarik Philip alongside Joel Scott and Ethan Price, blending perimeter savvy with interior presence. For Bristol, Myles Holden orchestrates the backcourt, while Malcolm Delpech and Michael Diggins anchor the frontcourt against London’s physical style of play.
Rebounding could dictate the tempo of the game. Bristol aims to limit London’s second-chance scoring opportunities while testing a disciplined Lions defense with an offense averaging more than 81 points per game in league play.
