The 2013–14 Basketball League Belgium Division I, for sponsorship reasons the 2013–14 Ethias League, was the 87th season top tier basketball league in Belgium. The season started on October 4, 2013 and finished on June 9, 2014. Telenet BC Oostende won their 3rd straight title by beating Okapi Aalstar 3–2 in the Finals.

Teams

Kangoeroes Basket Willebroek and Basic-Fit Brussels made their first Ethias League appearances after playing in the 2e Nationale in the 2012–13 season. Both clubs received a C-licence, which allows the teams to use a lower budget and doesn't allow them to play European but does to participate for three years. After those years they have to get an A or B-licence.[1] [2]
