The Women's Baltic Basketball League (WBBL) is a top-level regional basketball league in Northern Europe. The league features women's teams from Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. Teams from Finland, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and Sweden have competed in the past seasons.
History The Baltic Women's Basketball League was founded in 1994. In its 15th season in 2008, the league contained 18 teams from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and Kazakhstan. By 2016, for the league's 26th season, the league had 10 teams from Belarus, Estonia, Poland, Russia, Ukraine and Lithuania. After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, teams from Belarus and Russia were banned from participation.
In 2023, the Lithuanian Basketball Federation took over leadership of the league with the popular online betting company Betsafe, part of Betsson, signing a three year agreement to serve as its title sponsor.
In 2024, it was announced that the league would introduce divisions for the first time with teams from all three of the Baltic States competing.
