Nike Midnight Madness is a unique basketball event inviting young ballers to pit their skills in a late night London competition.

The competition heats up
Nike Midnight Madness hits London this summer in a high octane, thrilling basketball event. Players will set it off on the basketball court from 7pm onwards, battling it out from dusk till dawn during a night of extreme basketball action.

Basketball fans will not want to miss the chance to see the cream of fresh UK talent battle it out on court, live in London.

Playing to win
The ten highest scoring players of the night will join a selection of ten other elite players from across the UK, meeting at the Nike Midnight Madness finals at Wenmbley Arena on Saturday 16th August.
