The 2024–25 National Basketball League (Bulgaria) season was the 84th season of the Bulgarian NBL.
Teams CSKA Sofia withdrew from the competition on 16 September due to financial difficulties. Chernomorets withdrew from the competition on September 29 after failing to register a team due to unpaid wages to players and coaches from the previous season. This required a new fixture draw for the upcoming season.
On October 1, just 3 days before the first game of the season Yambol also withdrew due to financial difficulties, as well as the reconstruction of their Diana arena and the lack of an available alternative basketball hall. They will participate in the second division for the 2024–25 season and confirmed their intention of returning to the NBL for the 2025–26 season.

Regular season Before the withdrawal of Yambol and Chernomorets, the eleven teams should have played twice against each other for a total of 20 games. The league would then split into a top 6 and bottom 5, with each team playing two games against each of the other teams from the same group. The six teams from the first group and the best two teams from the second group would join the playoffs.
With nine teams, the teams will play each other twice, after which there will be an additional third cycle, where each team will have four home games against the four teams below them and four away games against the teams above them in the standings.
