Montréal, QC — The Montréal Alliance will head to Québec City for a preseason matchup on May 9, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., taking on the Ottawa BlackJacks at Université Laval’s PEPS.

The game marks an exciting opportunity to bring professional basketball directly to fans in Québec City, where support for the CEBL continues to grow. Many fans from the region regularly make the trip to Montréal to attend Alliance home games, and this event offers a chance to connect with them on their home court.

More than an exhibition contest, the matchup is part of the organization’s broader commitment to growing the game throughout Québec and making high-level basketball accessible to communities across the province.

“Bringing an Alliance game to Québec City is a natural step in our mission to grow the sport of basketball,” said Nicolas Lesage, Chief Operating Officer of the Alliance. “Québec City has a strong and passionate sports culture, and we’re proud to be part of that by creating a meaningful event for the community.”

The visit reflects the importance of Québec City in the province’s basketball landscape, as the CEBL continues to expand its reach and build lasting connections with fans across the region.

The upcoming season will include 12 home contests at the Verdun Auditorium and a new league-wide playoff format culminating in a best-of-three CEBL Final.

The Alliance will open their home schedule on May 15 against the Scarborough Shooting Stars. For ticket information, visit BASKETMTL.ca.
