Basketball Wives season 8

The eighth season of the reality television series Basketball Wives premiered on VH1 on June 19, 2019. The season was primarily filmed in Los Angeles, California. It was executively produced by Mark Seliga, Pam Healey, Shaunie O'Neal, Amanda Scott, and Sean Rankine.

The show chronicles the lives of a group of women who are the wives and girlfriends, or have been romantically linked to, professional basketball players in the National Basketball Association, though the title of the series does not make this differentiation, solely referring to the women as "wives".
