The Divisional Tercera de Ascenso (also known as DTA;[1] English: Third Promotion Division) is the third division of professional club basketball league in Uruguay. It is organized by the Uruguayan Basketball Federation (FUBB). The competition began in 2003. The promotion basketball championships replaced the Third Promotion Federal Championship.
Sayago is the current champion and Olivol Mundial is the team with more titles, with three.
The DTA is currently played in three stages: Torneo Clasificatorio (Qualifying Tournament), Liguilla (Little League) or Reclasificatorio (Requalifier); and playoffs.

- In the Requalifier, the clubs play each other once. The top two advance to the playoffs.
- The teams competed in the playoffs, with series being best of three. The first stage is the quarterfinals. The qualifiers are played as: A) 1st of the Liguilla vs. 2nd of the Reclasificatorio, B) 2nd of the Liguilla vs. 1st of the Reclasificatorio, C) 3rd of the Liguilla vs 6th of the Liguilla, D) 4th of the Liguilla vs. 5th of the Liguilla.
