The Basilan Peace Riders, also known as the Basilan-BRT Peace Riders for sponsorship reasons, were a Filipino professional basketball team based in the province of Basilan. The team last competed in the Pilipinas Super League (PSL) and played their home games at Lamitan Capitol Gym in Lamitan.
The team began play in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) in the 2018–19 season as part of the league's national expansion. The name "Steel" is based on the fact that Basilan comes from the word besih, meaning steel.
They have also played in the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup, where they won their only league championship. They also won in the 2021 MPBL Invitational.
The Basilan Steel were founded as one of sixteen expansion teams for the MPBL's 2018–19 season, and were one of five expansion teams from the Visayas and Mindanao. The team was originally going to be called the Basilan Shooters, but was changed since "shooters" may be associated with violence. Their application was accepted by the league in May 2018 who reasoned that they want to show the beauty of Basilan "through basketball".
In the 2018–19 season, the team finished with a 7–18 record, giving the team the second-worst record in the South Division. In the 2019–20 season, Basilan won 20 of the 30 games that season, awarding them with the division's third seed. After defeating Iloilo and then Bacoor City, the team reached the Division Finals against the Davao Occidental Tigers.
The series was tied 1-1 before the COVID-19 pandemic suspended the playoffs for one year. When the league resumed play with a bubble in Subic, Basilan had some of its players tested positive for COVID-19, thus ruling them out of the bubble, putting an abrupt end to their season. Davao Occidental would go on to advance to the National Finals and eventually win the championship.
In 2021, Basilan moved to the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup as one of its inaugural teams, going by the Basilan Peace Riders, marking the team's first professional stint. After going undefeated in the Mindanao leg of the 1st Conference, Basilan are granted an instant berth into the Mindanao Finals against the fourth-seeded Roxas Vanguards. The Peace Riders swept the Vanguards to advance to the 1st Conference Finals against KCS Computer Specialist – Mandaue. In the best-of-five series, Basilan beat Manduae 3–0 to win their first-ever league championship.
The team returned for the 2021 Invitational, going by the Basilan Jumbo Plastic. The team was given the group's first seed as a reward for winning the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup 1st Conference. After defeating Mindoro and Pasig, the team made it to the winner-takes-all finals against the Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards. With 1.9 seconds remaining in overtime and the score tied at 80, Philip Manalang made the championship-winning buzzer beater to give Basilan the MPBL Invitational title.
In 2022, the Basilan Steel transferred yet again, this time to the Pilipinas Super League alongside the Davao Occidental Tigers. In the 2022 Pearl of the Orient Cup, Basilan finished 8–6 and ranked 4th. In the semifinals, the Basilan faced against first-seeded Davao Occidental but was swept in the series. The team then eventually lost the third-place game against second-seeded Roxas Vanguards.
