Background

The Baltic Basketball League (BBL) was founded in 2004 as a Baltic states regional basketball league. It was considered the continuation of the NEBL that featured teams from the former Soviet Union.

The BBL mainly focused on teams from the Baltic states, but later also teams from Sweden, Russia, Kazakhstan, Finland, and Belarus participated in the Baltic League. In 2006, alongside with the launch of the Adriatic Basketball Association All-Star Game from the ABA League, the BBL started its own event.

It dissolved after the 2017–18 season, the league announced that it was suspending its operations. [1] Now the ENBL seems like its successor.
