Furthering a shared dedication to growing the sport of basketball across Canada and around the world, partners Sportsnet and Canada Basketball today unveiled plans to launch GLOBL JAM, a first-of-its-kind international basketball showcase in Canada.

Set to take place in Toronto from July 5-10, GLOBL JAM will shine the international spotlight on the game’s rising stars and feature women’s and men’s teams from around the world competing in an Under-23 tournament live at Mattamy Athletic Centre and broadcast nationally on Sportsnet.

Uniting fans on and off the court, GLOBL JAM will also feature festivities at Yonge-Dundas Square that celebrate the intersection of sport, art, and culture, as well as play host to the Canada Basketball 3x3 National Championships.

Recognized by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the GLOBL JAM men’s and women’s tournaments will feature two pools of four teams, respectively, competing in round-robin action July 5-8. Teams that advance to the semifinal round will meet on Saturday, July 9, followed by the Championship games on Sunday, July 10.

The inaugural GLOBL JAM field includes representatives from the following countries:

- Women’s Tournament – Canada, United States, Belgium, France

- Men’s Tournament – Canada, United States, Brazil, Italy

As Canada’s #1 sports media brand, Sportsnet will serve as the exclusive broadcaster of GLOBL JAM, delivering full-court coverage across its national channels and streaming services. Full coverage details, including broadcast team and schedule, will be announced at a later date.
