The 2025 CEBL Draft, the 7th edition of the Canadian Elite Basketball League's annual draft, was announced on April 10, 2025. The 10 teams of the CEBL took turns selecting U Sports and Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association athletes to add to their rosters. The first overall selection was made by the Montreal Alliance, who selected Sultan Haider Bhatti of the Brandon Bobcats. This was the first time the Draft results were unveiled live on CEBL+.[1]
The draft order for the first round was determined by how the teams finished in the 2024 CEBL season, with the last-placed Montreal Alliance obtaining the 1st overall pick. Employing a "snake draft" format, the order is reversed in even-numbered rounds, and returns to the original order in odd-numbered rounds. The draft order for the first round was determined as follows:[2][3]
