In 2021, the first Shanghai Champions League focused on five-a-side basketball as the core, creating a core model of 16 sub regions competing for the Shanghai championship. Last year, based on this competition system, the Shanghai Basketball Association further strengthened the concept of universal no threshold participation and established a new 16 district three player basketball audition. The top 2 teams in each district can advance to the top 32 of the audition and compete together for the championship of the "Champions League" three player system.

After more than two years of accumulation, the urban amateur league basketball league brand has gradually gained popularity, and the operational level and social value of the competition have steadily improved, becoming an annual competition highly anticipated by basketball enthusiasts in Shanghai. With the addition of the Champions League, the five player basketball league has formed a horizontal and vertical alliance with clear levels of participation, covering various industries.

The open group of the five player system in the 2023 Champions League will adopt a centralized competition system, with different schedules in the four major regions during the preliminary stage. The biggest feature of this year's five person basketball open group competition is that the city's sixteen districts are divided into four major competition areas: east, west, north, south, and Chongming District is an independent competition area, directly recommending teams to advance to the top 32. Contestants will jointly compete for the spot to advance to the top 32 in the local qualifiers, participate in the semi-finals and finals where the city's top players gather, and may ultimately have the opportunity to exchange matches with professional teams and national opponents. "We hope that 'Shangguan' will become the 'Champions Cup' for basketball enthusiasts in Shanghai," said the organizers. It is understood that this year's competition has rewards worth over 320000 yuan, far exceeding previous years.

As a representative of the folk powerhouse that accompanied the growth of the competition, the Chongming Yixu ARK team, which has won the championship of the Champions League for two consecutive years, as well as the Chongming Hengsha Yumin team, which won the first elite group championship, the National Games, and the Super Three League championship of the Champions League, were invited to attend the opening ceremony and were awarded the "Basketball Star" medal. The Chongming Yixu ARK team also had a wonderful performance match with the 23rd team. Although the match was not counted towards the results, the two high-level teams competed against each other and used this opportunity to train, marking the beginning of the Champions League.
