The Linden High School Tigers now compete in the Union County Interscholastic Athletic Conference, following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). Prior to the 2010 realignment, the school had participated in the Watchung Conference, a high school sports association made up of public high schools covering Essex County, Hudson County and Union County.
Coached by Phil Colicchio, the boys basketball team won the 2006 North II, Group IV sectional championship with a 64-38 win over Plainfield High School. In 2007 the team won the Group IV NJSIAA State Championship, edging Passaic County Technical Institute 57-56 in the semifinals and defeating South Brunswick High School 63-54 for the title.
