M Basket Mažeikiai (Lithuanian: Mažeikių M Basket), also known as M Basket-Delamode Mažeikiai for sponsorship reasons, is a professional basketball club based in Mažeikiai, Lithuania. The club finished as a runner-up in the 2022–23 National Basketball League season, which was enough for the promotion to the Lithuanian Basketball League for the 2023–24 season.[1]
BC Mažeikiai was founded in 2005 by Mažeikiai government and various businessmen. In 2013, Mažeikiai finished as champions of the National Basketball League and consequently should have been promoted to LKL, the top basketball league in Lithuania. However Mažeikiai had to stay in NKL because they do not have LKL arena–passing requirements, winning a second NKL title. They debuted in the LKL in 2014. They were relegated back to the NKL next season after a disastrous season.[2] They returned to the LKL for the 2023-2024 season.
