Teams
Promotion and relegation (pre-season)
A total of 18 teams contest the league, including 17 sides from the 2024–25 season and one promoted from the 2024–25 Primera FEB.
On 23 April 2025, Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos became the first team to clinch the promotion to ACB after an 87–74 win to Flexicar Fuenlabrada with three rounds before the end of the regular season.[2] It is the sixth season of the team of the city of Burgos after its previous spell between 2017 and 2022 in the Spanish top tier.[3] On 8 June 2025, Real Betis Baloncesto became the second team to achieve the promotion to ACB after winning the Primera FEB Final Four in an 97–92 win after an overtime drama against Flexicar Fuenlabrada to clinch the last spot to ACB.[4] However, on 24 July 2025, the ACB rejected the membership of Real Betis Baloncesto after it did not fulfill the requirements to register the team in the league.[3][5]
The first team to be relegated from ACB was Leyma Coruña, after a 67–79 loss to Surne Bilbao Basket on 11 May 2025, after only a single season stay in the top flight just one year later that clinched the promotion to the top tier in a season that became the first promoted team in 20 years to defeat Spanish powerhouses Real Madrid and Barça in its debut season.[6][7][8] The second team to be relegated to Primera FEB was Coviran Granada, after a 67–79 win in the next-to-last round against Real Madrid on 25 May 2025, after three seasons in the top tier, that has not been able to repeat the achievements of the previous two seasons in that avoided the relegation in the last round.[9] However, on 24 July 2025, the ACB issued an invitation to Coviran Granada after Real Betis Baloncesto did not fulfill the requirements to join the league.[3][10]
