The 2021 NBBF Premier League was the 20th season of the Nigerian Premier League, the top division of basketball in Nigeria. While normally the league is organised by the Nigerian Basketball Federation (NBBF), this season was held by the Nigerian Ministry of Youth and Sports.

Rivers Hoopers won their fourth national championship after defeating Gombe Bulls in the final. As such, they qualified directly for the 2022 BAL season. However, as the league was not organised by the national federation, Nigeria's place was retracted by the BAL.

Final 8

The Final 8 was played in the Abuja Sports Hall in Abuja.
