OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE · SEPTEMBER 17, 2026
YSBL unveils six founding franchise identities
Your Sim Basketball League is officially taking shape. The league has finalized its first six city-based franchises: the New York Empire, Los Angeles Vanguard, Chicago Steel, Houston Ascend, Miami Tide, and Phoenix Sol.
Each franchise now carries its own logo, color system, jersey identity, and culture — giving players more than a roster spot. They are joining a city, a brand, and a story built to last.
The Teams section has also been redesigned around the new identities. Visitors can explore each franchise, view its profile, and follow the league as four additional expansion slots remain open for future city reveals.
“Different cities. Different cultures. Same game. A brighter tomorrow.”
