The teams play against each other twice, once at home and once away, in two games during the same day. The champion and the cupwinner play in the European Cup.

Competition format

Ten teams plays in a double leg round-robin tournament. In each round, teams play two games in the same weekend against the other teams. In the second of games the pitcher must be eligible for the Spain national baseball team.
