Redefining Sports Entertainment By Blending Basketball, Brands & Culture. The New Intersection of Sports, Fashion & Lifestyle
LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Visionary entrepreneur Ron Abaekobe has built THE LEAGUE, a disruptive sports and lifestyle platform where basketball collides with fashion, hospitality, technology, and music. More than just a game, THE LEAGUE transforms each team into a brand—creating a stage where companies and cultural icons compete, collaborate, and connect.
Founded and developed by Abaekobe, who serves as Owner, Co-Founder, and Commissioner, THE LEAGUE's first season proved that sports can be reimagined as a cultural movement. Using his relationships across industries, Ron brought together brands, athletes, and tastemakers to launch a new kind of competition. Soho House—a global hospitality leader—believed so strongly in the concept that they joined as a partner and fielded their own team.

Since its inception, THE LEAGUE has drawn A-list attention. Justin Bieber has suited up more than seven times and now owns his own team under his brand Skylrk. Future Hendrix, Floyd Mayweather, Machine Gun Kelly, and other cultural powerhouses have all been seen courtside. Each game is powered by Memehouse Productions with full live-streaming capabilities, bridging the experience to audiences worldwide.
Backing Ron's vision are an influential team of partners:
Together, they've created a league where brands double as teams, seasons become networking platforms, and every matchup is both sport and spectacle.

"The League is more than basketball—it's culture curated," says Abaekobe. "I wanted to build a space where fashion, music, hospitality, and global brands could all compete and collaborate on the same court."
With expansion plans underway, THE LEAGUE is positioning itself as a year-round, worldwide platform—bringing together Fortune 500 companies, celebrities, and communities into one global stage where culture plays.
