- On 23 June 2021, the owners of the Worcester Wolves withdrew their team from the BBL, citing financial issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic as one of the main reasons for the decision.[1][2]
- On 8 July 2021, Plymouth Raiders withdrew from the league due to an increase in the cost of rent at their home venue, the Plymouth Pavilions.[3][4]
- On 30 July 2021, it was announced by the league that the city of Plymouth would have a franchise for the 2021–22 season.[5][6]
- On 9 August 2021, Plymouth City Patriots were announced to join the British Basketball League for the 2021–22 season, led by local businessman Carl Heslop.[7] The new organisation could not secure the transfer of the naming and branding rights of the Plymouth Raiders from Plymouth Raiders 1983 Ltd, the previous owners. The Patriots played their home games at the Plymouth Pavilions for one season only.[8]
