The 2026–27 Basketball Bundesliga, known as the easyCredit BBL for sponsorship reasons, is the 61st season of the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL), the top-tier level of professional club basketball in Germany. It runs from September 2026 to June 2027.
Format After a double round-robin, the top six teams from the regular season qualify for the playoffs. Teams placed seven to ten will be entered into a play-in tournament for the final two seeds of the playoffs.
Teams
Team changes Of the ProA finalists, only Phoenix Hagen applied for a license, which meant that there was a wildcard scenario for the 18th team. The Basketball Löwen Braunschweig purchased this wildcard and will stay in the Bundesliga, after being originally relegated last year.
