If you haven’t been to a Vancouver Bandits game yet, this is the season to fix that.
The 2025 season is coming in hot, and the Bandits will be chasing a Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) title, but what’s happening off the court is just as hype as what’s happening on it.
Whether you’re a hardcore hoops fan, a sucker for live music, or just showing up for the game day snacks, there’s a vibe waiting for you at Langley Events Centre this summer.
What’s New for 2025
A few upgrades are taking the game day experience to another level:
New Courtside Club Seating with 200 new premium seats including 4 person tiered tables on each baseline with access to the exclusive Bandits Saloon, an exclusive courtside bar experience.
Plus, new competitive pricing makes it more affordable than ever to attend a Bandits game:
- Bandits Student Pass: All BC students can attend every home game for just $49
- Jam Packs: 8, 16, or 24 ticket bundles you can use however you want
- Family Nights: Tickets start at $15, parking is free, and Sunday 5PM games offer a 4 Point Play Deal (4 tickets, 4 hot dogs, 4 drinks for $80)
2025 Season
The Bandits open their season on the road on May 15th and then kick things off at home with the Home Opener in a rematch of last year’s CEBL Championship game against Niagara on May 22 at 7PM
You’ve got 12 chances to catch them live at home between May and August, with most games landing on Friday nights or Sunday evenings.
Hot tip: Friday night games are low-key the best pregame move of the summer. Beer Pizza and Basketball starting at $30
