2023 BAL season rosters

The following page has an overview of the rosters of all twelve teams of the 2023 season of the Basketball Africa League (BAL). All teams were allowed to register a 12-man roster, with the restriction that only four foreign players can be registered. Of these four foreign players, only two can have a non-African nationality. Additionally, each roster featured a drafted prospect from the NBA Academy Africa, under the BAL Elevate program.

Teams were allowed to switch players during the period between the Conference stage and the playoffs. In the 2023 season, six teams made changes to their rosters ahead of the playoffs.

The BAL revealed the rosters for the Sahara Conference on 11 March 2023, the rosters for the Nile Conference were published on 24 April 2023.

Eleven players that played in the 2023 BAL season also participated with their national teams in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
