BNK Busan Bank Takes Lead in Women’s Basketball
Did you know BNK Busan Bank will be the title sponsor for the 2025-2026 Women's Korean Basketball League? Starting November 16, the league will be officially named BNK Financial 2025-2026 Women's Professional Basketball. This exciting change highlights BNK Busan Bank’s deepening commitment to women's sports and basketball in Korea, marking a significant milestone in the league's history. Fans and players alike are buzzing with anticipation as this sponsorship brings fresh energy to the court.
New Era with Official Emblem and Media Rights
Alongside the renaming, WKBL unveiled the official league emblem representing the new season. BNK Busan Bank secured a broad range of sponsorship rights, including the use of the official league name and emblem, media coverage, and arena presence. This deal ensures enhanced visibility for both the sponsor and the league, promising fans more engaging experiences at games and across media platforms. It’s a win-win for women’s basketball and corporate support in Korea.
Anticipating the Season Opening Media Day
Mark your calendar for November 10, when the exciting partnership will be formally celebrated at the BNK Financial 2025-2026 Women’s Basketball Media Day in Seoul’s Gangseo district.

Fans can look forward to hearing from heroes like Ahn Hyeji, last season's championship MVP from BNK Sunm, and get a first glimpse of what this season holds.
Community and Cultural Impact
BNK's involvement goes beyond sponsorship—it reflects growing corporate support for women's sports in Korea, adding prestige and resources to elevate the league. Local fans, especially in Busan, feel proud as BNK Sunm, the team operated by BNK Busan Bank, continues to grow competitively with strong backing. This sponsorship also resonates culturally by encouraging young women athletes and contributing to wider appreciation of women's basketball in Korean sports culture. Isn’t it thrilling to see such support shaping the future of the game?
