Dubai Basketball Club, commonly known as Dubai BC, is an Emirati professional basketball team based in Dubai. Founded in 2024, the team will play in the ABA League starting from the 2024–25 season. Rumours of a Dubai-located team joining the EuroLeague began in 2022, and talks were confirmed in January 2024. On 19 March 2024, the ABA League officially announced BC Dubai would join the league for the next three seasons, starting from 2024. The teams from the league reportedly receive €2.5 million annually from Dubai, who is also paying all travel expenses. Jurica Golemac was signed as the team's first head coach, while Nate Mason was the first officially signed player for the team. Later in the summer, Dubai BC announced that the 17,000 seater Coca-Cola Arena would serve as the team's home arena.
