The 2024–25 Latvian–Estonian Basketball League, known as Optibet Latvian-Estonian Basketball League for sponsorship reasons, is the seventh season of the Latvian–Estonian Basketball League, the premier basketball competition for men's teams in Latvia and Estonia.

Teams

[edit]

The number of participating teams was reduced from 16 to 15, due to BC Prometey and Tallinn Kalev/SNABB leaving the league. However, another team from Keila joined.[1] There was also some interest from different Ukrainian and Israeli teams to participate.[2]
