Disabled women's basketball is to become the first para-sport to have its own Premier League, in a bid to increase the "visibility" of disabled athletes.
It's hoped the world's best talent will be attracted to play in the UK, with the inaugural season running from January to May.
"It's such a game-changer," Lisa Pearce from British Wheelchair Basketball told Sky News.
"People are going to be able to not just see it once every four years at the Paralympic Games but actually see these women week in, week out competing domestically in these incredible new full franchise teams and get to know them and follow them. It's going to be huge."
"I think a lot of people think wheelchair basketball, it's just for disabled people. But as soon as you see it you can see it's a fast physical game, it's tactical as well and once you've watched it you won't stop. It's really enjoyable to watch." Sarah Hope, Worcester Wolves
