The 2024–25 Basketball Bundesliga, known as the easyCredit BBL for sponsorship reasons, is the 59th season of the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL), the top-tier level of professional club basketball in Germany. It runs from 20 September 2024 to 15 June 2025.[1] The season will be played with 17 teams after only one team was promoted from the ProA and no wildcards given out.[2]

Format

After a double round-robin, the top six teams from the regular season qualify for the playoffs. Teams placed seven to ten will enter into a play-in tournament for the final two seeds of the playoffs.[3]
