What was once a promising minor basketball league with decent talent, the New England Basketball League found itself hastily falling apart by its third season. Robert Zaiman (1921-2016) of Hartford was named the league president, and he fully intended to go with a six team league. As late as Thanksgiving, a league schedule was released with 5 teams signed up and space for a sixth team. Faced with being a five-team league, New Haven would drop out before the season even began so the league would go with merely four team. The season commenced on December 5, 1947 but only played seven games before suspending operation on December 15, 1947
- Bridgeport Brass Bears
- Fitchburg PAMCO's
- Hartford Pros
- Worcester Table Talks
- New Haven - dropped before season began
