History
editThe historical regional rivals of Reims Champagne Basket club (RCB) and the ESPE Basket Pro club of Châlons-en-Champagne , combined forces to create a strong, financially stable, competitive ball club on the French elite professional stage. The club was founded as Champagne Châlons-Reims Basket (CCRB) on 17 June 2010.[1] Two years following up the union, the Ligue Nationale de Basket (LNB) invited the CCRB to move up directly to the LNB Pro A through a wild-card.
In 2020, the club changed its name to "Champagne Basket".[2]
Arenas
editThe club's home arenas are the Complexe Sportif René Tys (Reims) and the Palais des Sports Pierre de Coubertin (Châlons). Each arena hosts half of their home games.[3]
