The Indian National Basketball League (INBL) is the open-entry 3x3 basketball league in India, organized and run by the Basketball Federation of India.[1]

The official start has been communicated as January 2022.[2] It does not embrace the franchise model like 3BL and also has no plans to attract foreign players.[1]

The league's organizer has been Headstart Arena India, a Punjab-based recreational, cultural and sporting activities company which also has business interests in Australia, has been granted a five-year license by the BFI to run the competition and also help promote the 3x3 version of the game.[1]

K. Govindaraj, BFI president, said the INBL's aim was to provide players with competitive games “every second weekend” to improve their standards and look to qualify for competitions such as the Olympics and World Cups.[1][3]
