London will host Big3 final and All-Star game in 2023

Ice Cube and Jeff Quatinetz, co-founders of a project called Big3, are always trying to make innovations in already globally popular competition. Fireball is attracting attention due to its entertaining and super-thrilling content and constantly gives an unforgettable experience to viewers. Now, it will get an extra dimension with a new host on the final weekend.

The championship and All-Star game in the 2023 season will be played for the first time outside of North America. London, the UK capital, will host former NBA players in the O2 arena on August 26. One of the most legendary locations with a capacity of 20000 attendants will be full of wild spectators that weekend.

The sixth edition of Big3 will tip off on June 25 and the first venue will be Chicago, Illinois. The semifinals of the playoff which will be played in Washington will determine two teams that will participate in the championship fixture in England.

On the other hand, the All-Star fixture gathers the best players from 12 Fireball’s teams and it’s held before the game for the first place. First ever All-Star game was on schedule last season meeting all audience expectations. After two campaigns in a semi-tour model, the competition returns to a full nationwide touring model.

Big3 renewed collaboration with national network CBS Sports, so they will broadcast the whole 2023 season, including those two games. The league also gave information that the championship game in the previous campaign was watched by a record number of viewers in the last three years. Team Trilogy clinched the trophy in an edition that averaged 681,000 total viewers on CBS.

It is reported that the final game between Trilogy and Power in 2022 was viewed by more than one million viewers. Before the championship game, the All-Star fixture was played between Team Doc and Team Ice averaging 587,000 viewers.
