The 2023–24 Latvian–Estonian Basketball League, known as Paf Latvian–Estonian Basketball League for sponsorship reasons, was the sixth season of the Latvian–Estonian Basketball League, the premier basketball competition for men's teams in Latvia and Estonia.
A total of 16 teams are participating in the 2023–24 edition of the league, including the newly established Rīgas Zeļļi. However Rakvere Tarvas left the league. For the second consecutive season, the league is also joined by Ukrainian team BC Prometey, who are the defending champions.[2] [3] Estonian teams with games against each other started the season one week earlier, because of Latvian national team participated in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, and coaches from many Latvian teams were involved in the national team coaching staff.
For the first time in league history play-off format changed. Quarterfinals are still to be played in the best-of-three series, however there will be no Final Four tournament anymore. Instead, semifinals are to be played in the best-of-three format. Bronze and gold medals will be played out in one game, host team being the one that was higher in the final standings of the regular season.
