The title takes UCU back to the summit of Ugandan women’s basketball and extends their record to nine National Basketball League championships.
UCU Lady Canons head into Game Three of the 2026 National Basketball League Finals against JT Lady Jaguars with a 2–0 series lead, following their 65–61 victory, and the chance to move within one win of their first league title since 2022.
UCU’s first women’s NBL title came in 2008, followed by championships in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2022. The return to the finals gives the Lady Canons an opportunity to add another chapter to a programme that has remained a consistent presence in Ugandan women’s basketball.
