The Detroit Amps are an American men's 3-on-3 basketball team based in Detroit, Michigan that plays in the BIG3.

The team was first announced on July 8, 2024, when strategic investment company GameAbove Sports had purchased a new BIG3 expansion team to begin play in Detroit for the 2025 season when the league would switch to a city-based model.

The name was first announced as the Detroit Amplifiers on March 26, 2025, but had been shortened to the Detroit Amps with the logo and color scheme announcement on April 16.
