1 Sponsored league name, referring to Scooore!.

The 2014–15 Belgian Basketball League, known as the Scooore League for sponsorship reasons, was the 88th season of the Basketball League Belgium. It was the first season without the name Ethias League after Ethias stopped their sponsoring activities. This season started with 11 clubs, including the newly formed team Limburg United. Telenet BC Oostende was the defending champion.

Format

Because a new team was added in Limburg United, a new competition format was introduced. The regular season now contained two rounds: in the first round all teams would play 2 matches against each other (one at home, one away). After 20 played games the league will be divided in two groups: the first group contains the teams seeded 1–6 and the second group 7–11. The results of the first round are included in the final standings.

The first 8 teams qualified for the Playoffs, the quarterfinals would be played in a best-of-three format and the Semifinals and Finals in a best-of-five.[2]

Licenses

The licences for the 2014–15 season were announced in April 2014.[3]
