Top 10 Basketball Backpacks
for October 2023

The Nike Hoops Elite Backpack is made for basketball players, so it only seems fitting that it has all the pockets and compartments a basketball player could need. The main compartment is lined with a foil lining that helps keep your stuff cool. The main compartment is also the largest in this pack, and it can fit a basketball, a pair of shoes, and a pair of shoes on top of those. The shoe compartment is vented, so it keeps air circulating and your shoes from getting stuffy. The shoe compartment is also large enough to hold a size 15 basketball sock. The outside pockets are large enough to hold a water bottle and a water bottle holder. The backpack has a handle and shoulder straps, so you can wear it like a bag or carry it by the shoulder strap. The Nike Hoops Elite Backpack is a well-made and well-designed backpack. It's comfortable to carry, and it can hold a lot of gear.

The Xelfly Basketball Backpack is our favorite large-capacity ball bag because it boasts excellent storage, a fully waterproof interior, and a comfortable, versatile design.

The main compartment has ample room for a basketball, soccer ball or volleyball, and the bag's exterior mesh pockets are large enough to hold two 20-ounce water bottles. The bag's main compartment and side pockets are water-resistant, so your equipment will stay dry even when it's raining. The bag's shoulder straps are padded and adjustable, so they fit comfortably over either shoulder. The bag's padded waist belt provides extra comfort, and the bag's wide, padded carry handle makes it easy to carry. The bag's exterior is made of rip-resistant polyester, and the bag's bottom is padded and abrasion-resistant. The Xelfly Basketball Backpack is durable, comfortable, and versatile, and it's the best large-capacity ball bag we've tested.

The BROTOU Soccer Ball Backpack is perfect for any soccer, basketball, or volleyball player. It's light enough to carry on its own, but it's also big enough to carry everything a player needs, including shoes, clothes, and other gear. The backpack's vented design lets air circulate, so it's comfortable and designed to prevent odor from spoiling your gear. The backpack is made of durable but lightweight 1080D polyester and nylon, so it's strong yet lightweight. The backpack's shoulder straps are adjustable, and the back of the backpack is padded. The backpack's front compartment is vented, so you can carry a soccer ball, basketball, or volleyball without misplacing them or getting dirty. The backpack's back compartment is large, so it holds clothes and shoes.

The ERANT Basketball Backpack is an attractive, versatile backpack that can carry several types of gear. The bag's main compartment is big enough to carry most sizes of basketballs, and the included detachable ball compartment holds up to size 7 basketballs. The bag's separate front compartment, which could double as a laptop bag, is spacious enough for an iPad or 10-inch tablet, a Kindle, or a laptop up to 13 inches. There's also a separate slot for a phone or MP3 player, and a small pouch for keys or money. The backpack's shoulder straps are wide and comfortable, and the backpack itself stays comfortable even when it's full. The bag's main compartment has a built-in handle, so it's easy to carry. The bag's construction is sturdy enough to withstand both heavy loads and rough handling. The bag is lightweight, too, at 3 pounds, so it's easy to carry.

The 2.0 version of the Road Trip backpack is an improvement over its predecessor, which we loved, and it's the best bag we tested for carrying your basketball gear and clothes. The bag is small enough to carry comfortably, and it's spacious enough for basketball shoes, warm-ups, sweatshirts, small toiletries, and clothes. The side compartment is large enough to hold a basketball (with shoes), and the top compartment features a large zipper for easy accessibility. The bag is water-resistant, and the mesh exterior keeps the bag light and breathable, so you won't feel weighed down by it. The bag is designed to be used with a ball, but you can use it without a ball, too. The drawstring closure makes it easy to secure your ball, and the 2.0 bag comes with two detachable shoe bags, so you can carry two pairs of basketball shoes without worrying about them getting mixed up.

This backpack is ultra-portable, with enough room to carry everything you need for a sports day. The side pockets are large enough for water bottles, and the main compartment is a terrific size, too. The bag comes with one removable shoulder strap, and the straps adjust to fit different body types. We tried the bag with a laptop, a clothes bag, and a gym bag, and all three fit easily. The side pockets are well-designed, too. The water bottle pocket has a mesh bottom so it drains easily, and the main compartment has a mesh lining so your clothes don't slip around. The bag also has separate compartments for shoes, a tennis racket, a badminton racket, and a squash racket. The bag has a bottom ball compartment, which can hold a volleyball, a soccer ball, or a basketball, but it's much too small for a basketball hoop. The side pockets are large enough, but shoes wouldn't fit. The bag also isn't designed for carrying a tennis racket or a squash racket, which dig into the side pockets. Overall, though, this is a great bag for sports or going to the gym.

The backpack's padded shoulder straps and waist belt are comfortable, and there's even a small mesh bag for the battery packs on your cell phone. The backpack's nylon fabric is easy to clean, and it's relatively water resistant (though we didn't test this). The bag also folds flat, so it's easy to carry in the included carry bag.
