About the league
The Pro B is the third tier of German basketball, below the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) and the ProA. The league was established in 2007 as a replacement for the old 2. Basketball Bundesliga. The competition format features 24 teams divided into two regional groups, with the top teams from each group qualifying for the playoffs. Top teams in the Pro B include Eisbären Bremerhaven, Bayer Giants Leverkusen, and Tigers Tübingen. The league serves as a developmental platform for young players and a pathway for teams to move up to the ProA and ultimately the BBL. Notable achievements include the promotion of teams like the Mitteldeutscher BC and the Rostock Seawolves to the ProA. The Pro B has a modest following in Germany, with a dedicated audience of basketball enthusiasts and local supporters. The league is overseen by the German Basketball Federation (DBB) and operates according to traditional basketball league structures.
