EWE Baskets Oldenburg is a flagship club of the German Basketball Bundesliga (BBL), based in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony. The team plays its home games at the Große EWE Arena, one of the best atmospheres in German basketball. Founded in the mid-20th century, the club's modern era was transformed by the sponsorship of energy company EWE. The team's colors are blue and yellow. The peak era for the Baskets arrived in the 2000s, culminating in a historic German Championship in 2009, led by stars like Rickey Paulding and Je’Kel Foster. That title victory remains the crowning achievement in club history. In the modern era, Oldenburg has remained a consistent playoff contender and a regular in European competitions like the Basketball Champions League. Rickey Paulding became a club legend, spending over a decade with the team. The current core continues to be built around experienced guards and versatile big men, aiming to add another championship to the trophy case. The fan support is phenomenal, with the "Oldenburg Wall" creating an intimidating home court. EWE Baskets Oldenburg is a perennial powerhouse and a model franchise in the BBL.
