The 2022–23 Latvian–Estonian Basketball League, known as the Paf Latvian–Estonian Basketball League for sponsorship reasons, was the fifth season of the Latvian–Estonian Basketball League, the premier basketball competition for men's teams in Latvia and Estonia. Nine Estonian and six Latvian teams were joined by Ukrainian team BC Prometey, who went on to win the league.[2] [3]
The regular season consisted of two rounds, followed by the quarter-finals and the Final Four.
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, teams from Ukraine started looking for opportunities to join leagues abroad. On 17 June 2022, it was announced that the 2020–21 Ukrainian Basketball SuperLeague champions BC Prometey will join Latvian-Estonian Basketball League for the 2022–23 season. The team will play its home games in Riga.[4]
On 21 July 2022, Keila KK joined the league after finishing third in the second division of the Estonian league system.[5]
16 teams was the highest number of teams participating in the league since its establishment.
