Basketball fans will be counting down the days until spring with Wednesday’s release of the 2025 Winnipeg Sea Bears schedule.
The Canadian Elite Basketball League team will open their season at Canada Life Centre on May 16 when they host the Edmonton Stingers.
The first 24-game season in league history will see the Sea Bears play 12 home and 12 away games in total, up from a total of 20 games in 2024.
As the host club for the CEBL’s 2025 Championship Weekend (CW25) — which will run from August 21-24 next summer — the Sea Bears are guaranteed to play in the Western Conference Final on Friday, August 22, and fans in Winnipeg will also witness the 2025 CEBL Championship Final and crowning of the league’s champion on August 24. Both games will also take place at Canada Life Centre.
“We’re thrilled to bring Canada’s premier basketball event to Winnipeg, especially after last year’s incredible show of support from our fans,” said Jason Smith, president of the Winnipeg Sea Bears.
“Their passion and dedication truly embody the spirit of our city’s sports community, and they are the driving force behind the Sea Bears having this amazing opportunity.”
Season tickets and Flex packs for the 2025 season are on sale now. Single-game tickets will go on sale in the spring.
A schedule of nationally televised games will be released at a later date.
