Basket Brescia Leonessa, known for sponsorship reasons as Germani Basket Brescia, is an Italian professional basketball team based in Brescia, Lombardy. Founded in 2009, the side plays in the LBA from the 2016–17 season.
Brescia Leonessa won the Serie A2 League after beating Fortitudo Bologna at game 5 of the league's playoffs, and returns in the highest-tier of the Italian basketball league system after 28 years.
The club plays its home games in the PalaGeorge, located in Montichiari, which seats 5,500 spectators.
On January 16, 2017, there was the official presentation of the project for the new arena located in Brescia. It will be called PalaLeonessa. The project consists of a renovation and an extension of the old PalaEIB, with the increase of capacity up to 5,100. Construction works will end in March 2018.
