The 2025 BAL season group phase begins on 4 April and will end on 25 May 2024. The 12 teams of the group phase are allocated into three conferences. The BAL announced the official schedule on 28 February 2025.[1]
It is the first time that the any BAL game is hosted in Morocco, and the first time that Kigali hosted a group phase, as the previous games they were hosted were playoffs and finals games.
