TheEuropean North Basketball League (ENBL) is a professional men's clubbasketball league featuring teams from acrossEurope. Despite its name, the league is not limited to northern Europe. Established in 2021, the ENBL is considered the 5th-tier European competition, ranking below theFIBA Europe Cup. Clubs participate without formal qualification or performance criteria, as teams are selected arbitrarily.[1]
The first season featured eight teams fromPoland,Czech Republic,Lithuania,Latvia,Estonia,Belarus andRussia, 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 fromIsrael,Ukraine andKosovo joined. A team fromSerbia also joined but withdrew at the last moment, meaning the participating teams dropped to 15.[2][3]
In the third season the league were joined by teams fromBelgium,Bulgaria,Denmark,Great Britain,Netherlands andRomania. The Final Four was held at the Danish city ofAarhus in April 2024.
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.
