Lithuania considers it the national sport, and it's also popular in Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, and former Yugoslav countries. With strong grassroots support, basketball has a significant following nationwide. The National Basketball League (NBL) showcases top talent and draws enthusiastic fans. Australia's love for basketball is evident through its competitive national teams, the Australian Boomers (men) and Opals (women), who consistently compete globally, including in the Olympics and FIBA World Cup. Basketball's accessibility and Australia's sporting spirit contribute to its enduring appeal and its vital role in the country's sports culture.

Leading Basketball Leagues Worldwide Beyond the NBA

Similar to other non-NBA leagues, relegation in the ACB entails the bottom two teams moving to LEB Oro, the second division, while the top two LEB Oro teams take their place.

3. Turkish Basketball Super League (BSL)- Established in 1966, the BSL has roots tracing back to basketball's inception in 1904.
