The Liga I is the second level of basketball in Romania. The league features 25 teams divided into 3 groups. The winner of the final promotion phase earns promotion to the Liga Națională.
History In 2018, the Romanian Basketball Federation (FRB) merged Liga 1 into a unified National League format with value-based groups, effectively dissolving Liga 1 as a separate competition.Decizii ale Consiliului Director din 23.05.2018. frbaschet.ro Cum va arăta Liga Națională de Baschet Masculin sezonul viitor . totalbaschet.ro
In 2019, after one season under this format, the FRB reinstated Liga 1 as the official second-tier league. The reestablished Liga 1 featured teams composed exclusively of Romanian players and allowed satellite teams from top-division clubs to participate, though these teams were ineligible for promotion. Promotion and relegation between Liga 1 and the top division were maintained through playoff tournaments.FRB a anunțat oficial revenirea Ligii 1. baschet.ro
