The Latvian-Estonian Basketball League is the highest basketball league in Latvia and Estonia. The league was established in 2018 when the Latvijas Basketbola līga (LBL) and Korvpalli Meistriliiga (KML) merged. On 9 April 2019, Ventspils won the first league championship.[1]

In its inaugural season, 15 teams participated in the league.[2] After a Final Four is played to determine the winner of the league, playoffs are played to decide the national champion of Latvia and Estonia. The first game was on 28 September 2018, with Estonian champions Kalev/Cramo hosting a game against the Latvian champions Ventspils.
