Abstract: A rolling element bearing (1) that includes a plurality of balls (4) as rolling elements guided in a cage (5). A lubricant channel (19) is formed in snap-in pockets (8) in a region between a lateral ring section (6) and the central ball (4) track, between the ball (4) and the adjoining web section (7) and/or the adjoining lateral ring section (6), which fluidically connects the radial outer side and the radial inner side of the cage (5). In order for the rolling element bearing (1) lubricant supply to be improved, on the web sections (7), an outer block section (10) is formed on the radial outer side and/or an inner block section (11) is formed on the radial inner side, which project relative to the lateral ring section (6), in the radial direction in relation to the bearing axis L, and reduce the available rolling element space between two adjoining balls (4).
