About the league
The China National Basketball League (CDBL) is a secondary-level professional basketball league in China, founded in 2004. The league has undergone several format changes over the years, with the current competition featuring 20 teams divided into two divisions. Top teams in the CDBL include the Guangdong Southern Tigers, Liaoning Flying Leopards, and Shandong Heroes. The competition format consists of a regular season, followed by playoffs to determine the champion. Notable achievements include the league's role in developing Chinese basketball talent, with several CDBL players going on to compete in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) and internationally. The CDBL has a dedicated fan base in China, with games broadcast on local television and online platforms. While not as prominent as the CBA, the CDBL plays an important role in promoting basketball development and competition in China, providing a platform for emerging players and teams to showcase their skills.
