The European North Basketball League (ENBL) is a professional men's club basketball league, established in 2021 across Europe. Despite its name, the league is not limited to Northern Europe. Clubs participate without formal qualification or performance criteria, and are selected arbitrarily.
History The first season featured eight teams from Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus and Russia, including several national medalists with wide regional and international experience.
The second season saw an expansion to 16 teams within two groups. While Belarusian and Russian teams were excluded, teams from Israel, Ukraine and Kosovo joined. A team from Serbia also joined but withdrew at the last moment, meaning the participating teams dropped to 15.About us
In the third season the league were joined by teams from Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Great Britain, Netherlands and Romania. The Final Four was held at the Danish city of Aarhus in April 2024.
Competition format The regular season is divided into two groups. Four teams from each group will advance to play-offs. Each tie in the quarter-finals phase is played over two legs. The winning teams qualify for the Final Four tournament.
