The Men's team compete in the 2nd Division of the Scottish Basketball Championship, the second highest level in Scotland and third tier of British basketball. The Lions also have two more Men's teams and a Women's team, which all compete in the Lothian Basketball League. ## Men The Men's Lions team play in Division 2 of the [Scottish Basketball Championship](/source/Scottish_Basketball_Championship_Men). The team was promoted to National League Division 1 at the start of the 2018–19 season, after winning the 2017–18 Division 2 Playoff title and many successful years in the regional **Lothian Basketball League**, which they won in the 2011–12 season. After 4 seasons in the top-tier basketball league in Scotland, the team got relegated to National League Division 2 after finishing 9th at the end of the 2022-23 season, when Basketball Scotland decided to reduce the number of teams in the 1st Division to 8. ### Honours - National League Division 2 Winners: **2018, 2024** - Lothian League Winners: **2012** ### Season-by-season records Season Division Tier Regular Season Post-Season Scottish Cup Finish Played Wins Losses Points Win % Edinburgh Lions 2011-12 Lothian Div 1 4 1st 18 17 1 52 0.944 2012-13 Lothian Div 1 4 2nd 20 17 3 54 0.850 2013-14 Lothian Div 1 4 4th 20 11 9 42 0.550 2014-15 Lothian Div 1 4 4th 20 13 7 46 0.650 2015-16 Lothian Div 1 4 2nd 10 7 3 24 0.700 2016-17 SBC Div 2 3 3rd 14 9 5 23 0.643 Runners Up Did not compete 2017-18 SBC Div 2 3 2nd 14 10 4 24 0.714 Winners 1st round 2018-19 SBC Div 1 2 8th 18 3 15 21 0.167 Quarter-finals 1st round 2019-20 SBC Div 1 2 8th 16 2 14 18 0.125 Quarter-finals Quarter-finals 2021-22 SBC Div 1 2 8th 16 1 15 17 0.063 Did not qualify 1st round 2022-23 SBC Div 1 2 9th 20 4 16 24 0.200 Did not qualify 1st round 2023-24 SBC Div 2 3 1st 17 16 1 32 0.941 Semi-finals ## Women After several years of being one of the top teams in the Lothian League and three seasons of sweeping all regional titles, the Lions Women's team also moved on to participate in the Scottish Basketball Championship for the first time in the 2022-23 season.
