Real Madrid defended successfully the Spanish crown after winning back–to–back Liga ACB titles to achieve their 16th ACB title in a record-extending 38th Spanish title by sweeping Valencia Basket in the finals.

Teams

Promotion and relegation (pre-season)

A total of 18 teams contested the league, including 16 sides from the 2023–24 season and two promoted from the 2023–24 LEB Oro. This include the top team from the LEB Oro, and the winners of the LEB Oro Final Four.

On May 10, 2024, Leyma Coruña became the first team to clinch the promotion to ACB after an 80–74 win to Melilla Ciudad del Deporte in the last round of the regular season that crowned it as LEB Oro champions.[2] It was the debut season of the Galician team in the Spanish top tier and the second participation of the city of A Coruña in the Spanish top flight after the participation of Bosco in 1968–69 season.[3] On June 9, 2024, Hiopos Lleida became the second team to achieve the promotion to ACB after winning the LEB Oro Final Four in an 85–70 proud win against Movistar Estudiantes to clinch the last spot to ACB.[4] It was the debut season of the Catalan team and it meant the return of the city of Lleida to the Spanish top flight after the previous spell of CE Lleida in the league.[3]

The first team to be relegated from ACB was Zunder Palencia, after a 94–101 loss to Baskonia on 27 April 2024, suffering immediate relegation.[5] The second team relegated to Primera FEB was Monbus Obradoiro, after a 97–71 win in the last round against Joventut Badalona on 12 May 2024 that was not enough, ending their 13-year stay in the top tier.[6]
