1 ProA Gladiators Trier, for sponsorship reasons known as VET-CONCEPT Gladiators Trier, is a professional basketball club based in Trier, Germany. The club plays in the Basketball Bundesliga since their promotion from the ProA in 2025. Its home arena is Trier Arena, which has a capacity of 5,495 people. From 1990 till 2015 the club existed in the form of TBB Trier, which went bankrupt.
History
The club was founded as TBB Trier in 1990, and has played in the top division Basketball Bundesliga since the club's inception. They once were a part of the sports club TV Germania Trier, and became independent after promotion to the Basketball Bundesliga.
In the 2014–15 season, TBB relegated after it lost points in the standings because of financial problems. The club was dissolved after the season. However in the 2015 offseason, a new club was founded which was not the legal successor of TBB but inherited the club's license to play in the second tier ProA.
Gladiators Trier were promoted and returned to Basketball Bundesliga after their previous naming, TBB and the club's last participation during the 2014–15 season. They beat Science City Jena 2–0 in the finals of ProA during the 2024–25 season's playoffs and achieved its promotion and its return to the top–tier league after 10 years.
