The 2024–25 Jordanian Premier Basketball League, also known as the CFI Premier Basketball League for sponsorship reasons,[1] will be the 70th season of the Jordanian Premier Basketball League (JPL), the top-tier competition for professional men's teams in Jordan. The season will begin on 12 December 2024.
Al-Ahli are the defending champions, having won the previous 2022–23 season.[2]
Format
[edit]During the first round of the competition, 7 teams compete in a double round robin format, with each team playing home-and-away games against every other team.[3]
The teams that finish in 5th, 6th, and 7th place at the conclusion of the first round will play at the second round, with a single round-robin series to determine their final rankings.[3] There, the 6th and 7th placed teams play a single match, and the winner will meet the 5th placed team. The winner of that match then advances to the third stage.[4]
The top four teams from the first round and the single team from the second round gets to advance in a second group stage, referred to as the third round, where they again compete in a double round-robin format of home and away matches.[3]
The top four teams from the third round progress to the fourth round,[4] which will consist of another double round-robin, aiming to arrange the positions of the remaining teams. The two highest-ranking teams qualify for the finals,[3] while the third and fourth placed teams play for a third-placed match.[4]
The finals are played as a best-of-five series, with the first team to win three games crowned the champion.[4]
Teams
[edit]There were initial plans of 8 teams participating in the league by December 12.[5] However, 7 teams will end up participating in the competition.[6]
Amman United, Al-Jalil and Shabab Bushra were added to the competition, while Al-Wehdat, Kafr Yuba, Al-Mokawloon, Gaza Hashem and other basketball clubs were not interested in participating in the competition.[5]
Al Riyadi Aramex had originally planned on participating,[5] but will instead not participate in the competition.
The league ultimately increased from 6 to 7 teams from the previous season.
