The '''Chicago Muscle''' was a professional, minor league [basketball](/source/basketball) team in the [Premier Basketball League](/source/Premier_Basketball_League). The Muscle was set to begin play for the 2012 season. Based in [Chicago, Illinois](/source/Chicago), the Muscle's home venue was [Harper College](/source/Harper_College) in [Palatine, Illinois](/source/Palatine%2C_Illinois).

The Muscle planned to be the second PBL team to play out of Chicago, following the [Chicago Throwbacks](/source/Chicago_Throwbacks) which played from 2008 until folding in 2009.  In the planning stages, a team called the Chicago Aztecas was set to join, but it folded before tipping off.

The team folded on March 8, 2013, according to the [Illinois Secretary of State](/source/Illinois_Secretary_of_State)'s website.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Chicago Muscle|url=http://www.ilsos.gov/corporatellc/CorporateLlcController|work=LLC - File Detail Report|publisher=[Illinois Secretary of State](/source/Illinois_Secretary_of_State)|accessdate=16 September 2013}}</ref>
