1937–38 National Basketball League (United States) season

The 1937–38 NBL season was the inaugural season of the National Basketball League (NBL). This league is the evolution of the Midwest Basketball Conference Championship, a league that had a duration of two years before becoming the NBL. The league launched with 9 franchises, it was irregular because the teams were the ones that had to choose the day and the hour of the match, even the duration (4 quarters of 10 minutes or 3 parts of 15 minutes) was chosen by the local team before the match. The season ended with the Akron Goodyear Wingfoots becoming the NBL's first champions.
