The Turkish Basketball Super League (BSL)[1] is the top-tier pre-eminent professional men's basketball league in Turkey, which is also called Turkish Premier Basketball League (Turkish: Türkiye Basketbol Süper Ligi), or also known as Spor Toto Basketball League (Turkish: Spor Toto Basketbol Ligi) for sponsorship reasons. The league was previously known as the Turkish Basketball League (TBL).

There is also a second-tier level Turkish Basketball First League (TBL) with 18 teams, and since 2011, a third-tier level Turkish Basketball Second League (TB2L), with the teams divided into two groups.[2]

History

According to the official records, in Turkey, basketball was first played in 1904 at Robert College. An American physical education teacher laid the foundations of this sport in Turkey. 7 years later, Ahmet Robenson, a physical education teacher at Galatasaray High School decided to introduce a new game to the students in 1911. Robenson who also became a Galatasaray S.K. president later, popularized this sport in Turkey.[3][4]

Until late 1966, local basketball competitions were being held in big cities like Istanbul, Ankara and İzmir. The national league was founded in 1966 by the Turkish Basketball Federation, and began with the 1966–67 season. The TB2L was also founded three years later.

The competition

There are 16 teams in the league and they play against each other twice in the league manner, once at their home and the other away. At the end of the season, the top 8 teams are entitled to participate at the playoff games. The two top teams of the Turkish 2nd Division are promoted to the Premier League. The two lowest placed teams of the Premier League play, respectively, with the third and fourth ranking teams of the Second Division in a one-game knock-out playoff. The winning top two teams are entitled to play in the Premier League, and the other two losing teams are relegated down into the Second Division.[5]
