The Liga de Ascenso[1] (also known as LDA or Metro; English: Promotion League) is the second most important professional club basketball league in Uruguay. It is organized by the Uruguayan Basketball Federation (FUBB). The competition began in 2004 under the name of Torneo Metropolitano (Metropolitan Tournament). The promotion basketball championships replaced the Campeonato Federal de Segunda de Ascenso.

Larrañaga is the current champion and Bohemios is the team with more titles, with three.

The LDA is currently played in three stages: Torneo Clasificatorio (Qualifying Tournament), Liguilla (Little League) or Permanencia (Relegation Phase) and playoffs.

  • In the Qualifying Tournament, the clubs play each other once, and the first eight of the table play in the Liguilla, where all is guaranteed to participate in the playoffs. The last five play in the Permanencia.
  • In the Liguilla, the clubs play each other once. It only serves to organize the positions for playoffs.
  • In the Permanencia, the clubs play each other twice, home and away. It only serves to organize the positions for playoffs. The last two are relegated to the DTA.
  • 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 vs. 8th, B) 2nd vs. 7th, C) 3rd vs 6th, D) 4th vs. 5th.
