The invention discloses a luminous basketball middle bladder, which comprises a ball seed, an inflating hole, an outer ball head, an inner ball head, an inner bladder, layers of fiber, a middle bladder body, a surface and a luminous coating, wherein an opening main body is constituted by the ball seed, the inflating hole, the inner ball head and the outer ball head; the inner ball head and the inner ball head are embedded in the inner bladder; the inflating hole is formed in an axial line of the ball seed; the inner bladder, the layers of fiber, the middle bladder body and the surface are provided with corresponding holes; and the ball seed can pass through the corresponding holes. The middle bladder is made by a series of steps including stirring natural rubber, stearic acid, an anti-aging agent, talcum powder, scolecite, sulfur, zinc oxide, ethyl cellulose, carbon black, living calcium and a silane coupling agent, implementing heating, cooling, reduced pressure distillation, air-drying, drying, calcining, cooling, mixing, rubber discharging, cooling, heating and vulcanizing. The middle bladder is good in stability and high in intensity; by virtue of the luminous coating covering the surface, a basketball can be still played by people in the dark without light irradiation; and the basketball provided by the invention is good in elasticity, good in stability, high in intensity and good in air-tightness, and the basketball is also applicable to nighttime.
