Fraser Valley was first announced as part of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) in November 2017.[2] On July 16, 2018, the CEBL revealed their sixth inaugural team as the Fraser Valley Bandits, the logo representing a red fox wearing a bandit mask.[3]
The team began play in the 2019 CEBL season at Abbotsford Centre. On June 27, 2019, the Bandits defeated the Saskatchewan Rattlers for their first win in franchise history.[4] In their inaugural campaign, the Bandits finished 4-16 and did not qualify for the playoffs.
In the 2020 season, the Bandits finished the regular season 4-2 and advanced to the CEBL championship game. They ultimately fell to the Edmonton Stingers in the final 90-73.[5]
In the 2021 season, the Bandits went 7-7 and earned a playoff berth. After defeating the Guelph Nighthawks in the quarterfinals, the Bandits lost in the semifinals to the Niagara River Lions 84-82.[6]
On September 23, 2021, the Bandits announced that Langley Events Centre will be their home for the upcoming CEBL season, which begins May 2022.[7]
