Champagne Basket is a French professional basketball club that is based in both the cities of Reims and Châlons-en-Champagne. The club was established in 2010 as part of the union between the old clubs of Reims Champagne Basket club (RCB) [fr] and the ESPE Basket Pro club of Châlons-en-Champagne [fr]. Since 2022, the team plays in the LNB Pro B, the second tier division of French basketball.

History

[edit]

The historical regional rivals of Reims Champagne Basket club (RCB) [fr] and the ESPE Basket Pro club of Châlons-en-Champagne [fr], combined forces to create a strong, financially stable, competitive ball club on the French elite professional stage. The club was founded as Champagne Châlons-Reims Basket (CCRB) on 17 June 2010.[1] Two years following up the union, the Ligue Nationale de Basket (LNB) invited the CCRB to move up directly to the LNB Pro A through a wild-card.

In 2020, the club changed its name to "Champagne Basket".[2]

Arenas

[edit]

The club's home arenas are the Complexe Sportif René Tys (Reims) and the Palais des Sports Pierre de Coubertin (Châlons). Each arena hosts half of their home games.[3]
