History

Around the beginning of 2014 Limburg United was founded in the city of Hasselt. The name expressing the founders' motivation for there to be a top tier basketball team from Limburg province in the aftermath of Bree B.B.C. relegating from BLB Division I in 2008 and eventually disbanding. Limburg United asked for a B-licence for the 2014–15 Basketball League Belgium, and eventually got it. Former Antwerp Giants assistant Brian Lynch signed a 5-year contract to become United's head coach. [2] The long-term goal of the club was expressed to "become a club in the subtop of Belgium in 3 or 5 years." [3] In the 2016–17 season, Limburg reached the Final of the Belgian Basketball Cup but lost to Telenet Oostende. [4]

Since the 2021–22 season, United plays in the BNXT League, in which the national leagues of Belgium and the Netherlands have been merged. [5] On 14 March 2022, Limburg United won its first-ever trophy when it captured the Belgian Cup after defeating Oostende in the final. [6]
