The team competes in the Liga Portuguesa de Basquetebol (LPB), the top-tier domestic league, and plays its home matches at Pavilhão João Rocha.

In 1995, basketball stopped being one of the sports practiced in the club, returning in 2012, just with the women's team.

Sporting submitted a proposal to go directly into the 2019–20 Liga Portuguesa de Basquetebol with their men's team.

[1] Pavilhão João Rocha is a multi-sports pavilion located in the parish of Lumiar, in Lisbon.

In honor of one of the most distinguished figures in the history of Sporting, the pavilion was named after former club president, João Rocha, who remained in office from September 1973 to October 1986.
