June 14th ROLESVILLE, N.C. - The Charlotte Blue Jackets picked up an impressive playoff win Sunday with a 134-122 victory over the SC Upstate RedHawks, earning a spot in the 2026 ECBL Elite Bracket Championship Game.

Entering the postseason as the No. 3 overall seed, Charlotte has now secured a championship showdown with Kingdom Life Basketball Club on Saturday, June 20, in Charlotte. The Blue Jackets will enjoy home-court advantage as they look to advance to the ECBL Championship Game.

The championship picture remains wide open. If Charlotte wins the Elite Bracket title and the Petersburg Cavaliers capture the Premier Bracket Championship, the ECBL Championship Game will be played in Petersburg. However, if the Balling Brothers upset the Cavaliers and Charlotte advances, the league championship would be hosted in Charlotte.

Kingdom Life BC, meanwhile, has plans of its own after pulling off one of the biggest upsets of the playoffs by eliminating the No. 2 overall seed, earning its place in the Elite Bracket Final.

Saturday’s matchup between the Blue Jackets and Kingdom Life BC will determine who advances to the ECBL Championship Game on June 27, with a league title on the line.
