London 3×3 and Vulcano Canarias 3×3 were crowned National Champions at the Ball Out 3×3 National Finals held at Finsbury Park over the 22-23 August.

Fresh from becoming Commonwealth Champions at Glasgow 2026, Jamell Anderson, Ashley Hamilton and Evan Walshe, plus teammate Veron Eze, tested their mettle against home-grown and international 3×3 talent in the men’s elite category.

In the final they came up against battle-tested and 3×3 FIBA circuit regulars 3×3 Warsaw Lotto Legia but stayed the course to beat the Poles 21-19 in a tight-contest.

Spoils for London 3×3 included £2,000 in prize money, plus a trip to Phoenix, Arizona, USA to compete in a FIBA 3×3 Challenger.

In the women’s contest, Vulcano Canarias 3×3 beat Take Off 16-10 to sweep themselves to the title plus £1,000, and in the recreational men’s competition Squad Zero 3×3 beat The Truth, 19-13.

The JD Dunk Contest trophy went to Chris Staples and Eleanor Bishop took the JD Women’s 3 Point Contest title.

Ball Out is the UK’s premier 3×3 tournament – sponsored by JD and supported by Basketball England and Subway.

This year the tour took in qualifier stops in London, Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester and Essex before the Finsbury Park finale, bringing together thousands of players nationwide through basketball, music and culture.
