Like many other leagues in continental Europe, the Liga LEB takes a winter break once each team has played half its schedule. One feature of the league that may be unusual to North American observers is that the two halves of the season are played in the same order—that is, the order of each team's first-half fixtures is repeated in the second half of the season, with the only difference being the arenas used. This procedure is typical in Europe; it is also used by La Liga in football.
Since the first round of the second leg, if two or more teams have accumulated the same number of winning games, the criteria of tie-breaking are these: Head-to-head winning games. Head-to-head points coefficient. Total points coefficient.
After the first leg of the season, the two top qualified teams will play the Copa Príncipe de Asturias and the leader will be the host team.
At the final of the season: The regular season winner promotes directly to Liga ACB. Teams qualified between 2nd and 9th, will join the promotion play-offs to ACB. Teams qualified in positions 12th and 13th will play the relegation playoffs. Team qualified in last position is relegated directly to LEB Plata.
