This list covers 4 basketball teams whose names start with “X,” ranging from “Xavier Musketeers” to “Xacobeo Blusens.” These programs span college, professional, and international competition, and they represent cities and countries as different as Cincinnati, Ohio, and Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Whether you’re following a college powerhouse or a club overseas, each team plays a defined role within its own league and community.

Basketball teams are organized groups of players who compete together under a shared name, city, or institution, representing that identity in official league play. Many “X” teams carry unusual origins, like the Xinjiang Flying Tigers, named after a legendary World War II volunteer air unit, or Xavier University of Louisiana’s Wolves, one of the few historically Black university programs in NAIA basketball.
