Baltic Basketball League (BBL) was the Baltic states basketball league founded in 2004. The league mainly focused on teams from the Baltic states, but teams from Sweden, Russia, Kazakhstan, Finland, and Belarus have participated in the Baltic League. After the 2017–18 season, the league announced that it was suspending its operations.

History

For the 2015–16 season, the format of the BBL included a regular season composed by two groups of seven teams that competed in a round-robin competition system, with each team facing their opponent twice. The teams qualified for the eight-finals based on their ranking after the regular season. Out of the five teams who participated in FIBA Europe Cup competition – Ventspils, Juventus, Šiauliai, Tartu Ülikool/Rock and Pieno žvaigždės – the latter three did not qualify for the FIBA Europe Cup playoffs and thus started playing at the start of the BBL playoffs, seeded respectively first, second and third based on last season's results. All play-off games are played in home-and-away series.

Baltic Basketball League also featured a Baltic Basketball League Cup competition before the beginning of the regular season since 2008.

**Baltisk Liga**

Baltisk Liga er en international basketballturnering for hold fra de baltiske lande Estland, Letland og Litauen. Den blev grundlagt i 2004 og er blevet afholdt årligt siden da.

Turneringen består af to dele: en grundspil og en slutspil. I grundspillet spiller holdene mod hinanden i en dobbeltrunde-robin-format. De fire bedste hold fra grundspillet kvalificerer sig til slutspillet, som afholdes i et knockout-format.

Baltisk Liga er en af de mest prestigefyldte basketballturneringer i den baltiske region. De vindende hold kvalificerer sig til FIBA EuroCup, den anden bedste klubturnering i Europa.

Nogle af de mest succesfulde hold i Baltisk Liga-historien er Žalgiris Kaunas (Litauen), VEF Rīga (Letland) og BC Kalev/Cramo (Estland).
