The 2020–21 Latvian–Estonian Basketball League, known as Paf Latvian–Estonian Basketball League for sponsorship reasons, is the 3rd season of the Latvian–Estonian Basketball League, the combined top basketball division of Latvia and Estonia.
Competition format
It was planned, that the competition format would follow the usual double round-robin format: all the teams would play each other twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 24 games; teams would have been ranked by total points, with the eight highest-ranked teams advancing to the quarter-finals; the quarterfinal series would have been played to two wins (best-of-three); the winning teams would determine the champion in a Final Four tournament.[1]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic risks, it was planned, that from October till 6 December teams would play only within the respective country.[2][3][4]
It was announced in 11 November, that after 6 December due to the increasing spread of coronavirus in the region teams will continue competing within their respective country (thefore, playing 3rd and 4th lap), and so no international games will be played in the Regular season.[5] Discussions on the play-off format are still ongoing.[6]
Teams
13 teams, 7 from Estonia and 6 from Latvia, are contesting the league in the 2020–21 season.
