A professional basketball team is coming to Baltimore.

The Baltimore Venom will join The Basketball League and plans to start playing in 2025, making it the second TBL team in the state after the Frederick Flying Cows opened their inaugural season in March.

The TBL, an American minor professional basketball league, was founded with eight teams in 2017. Now, it is home to 38 teams across four conferences, including a couple of teams in Canada.

Baltimore Venom founders Jacob Dennis and Charles Carrington have not secured a location to play in but are touring different spots around Baltimore. While the team doesn’t have a home yet, Dennis and Carrington are committed to playing in Baltimore and have already received approval from the TBL to start a team.

“It’s confirmed that we’re bringing this,” Carrington said. “We’re in the process of raising money currently. We’re in the middle of our marketing plan as it is now; promoting it, getting more people aware of it.”

The founders are aiming to keep local players in the city while also creating a better relationship with the Baltimore community and local colleges.

“It’s not just a business venture,” he said. “It’s bigger than basketball. We’re seeking to affect people, to change their lives, to provide not just a basketball product… that blesses them every time they come out but something that you see as really being involved in the community, actually taking care of the city just as much as it will be taking care of us.”
