The Primera División de Baloncesto (officially Campeonato de España de Primera División Nacional) is the fifth level in the Spanish basketball league system.

Current format The Primera División works similar to the Tercera Federación of Spanish football. It is the fifth tier as well and it is divided into sixteen groups, corresponding to the Autonomous communities of Spain excepting one of the groups that is shared by Basque Country and Navarre (until 2024, La Rioja was the third member of this shared group). In Catalonia the Primera División is known as Super Copa Masculina (until the 2023–24 season was known as Copa Catalunya Masculina).

The best teams are promoted to Tercera FEB (formerly known as Liga EBA), since 2015–16 season without playing any promotion playoffs against other Autonomous communities groups, expecting a 3-team stage for two additional spots to promote to Tercera FEB – A Conference between the runner-ups from Basque Country and Navarre, Castile and León, and Galicia groups.

Unlike the mentioned Tercera Federación of Spanish football and other European countries like France or Italy, where the national federations manage all the competitions (even the regional ones), the Primera División de Baloncesto is organized by the autonomous basketball federations rather than the Spanish Basketball Federation. As a result, the number of teams, competition formats and schedules are different in each group.

For the current 2026-27 season, this is how promotion spots from Primera División de Baloncesto to Tercera FEB are established:

A Conference (8 places): Basque Country-Navarre (1), Cantabria (1), Castile and León (1), Galicia (1), La Rioja (1) and Principality of Asturias (1), plus the (2) additional spots from the mentioned 3-team stage between the runner-ups from Basque Country and Navarre, Castile and León, and Galicia groups. If the 2027-28 Tercera FEB – A Conference season has vacancies, they will be covered as follows:
