The Birmingham Steel is a proposed professional basketball team representing Birmingham in the Continental Basketball League (CBL).

The Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based league was organized in 2009 by Dennis Truax, a former director of operations for the Continental Basketball Association (CBA). Birmingham was announced in March 2010 as the 5th of 5 charter teams which would play a 16-game schedule against teams in Savannah and Marietta, Georgia and Wilmington and Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Richard Ashmon owns the Birmingham franchise, and also serves as head coach and general manager. Tryouts for the team and its dance squad were held on March 27 at Jackson-Olin High School. Play is scheduled to begin at the end of April with a championship in June.
