3BL is an international professional 3x3 basketball league in India recognized by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).[2][3] The league consists of eighteen teams including international players.

3x3 is a form of basketball played three-a-side on a half court, with one basket. The game lasts for 10 minutes with sudden death at 21 points. The winner is the first team to score 21 or the team with the highest score at the end of the 10 minutes.[4] 3x3 is FIBA’s second official discipline and will be played in Tokyo 2021 at the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham.[5][6]
