2018–19 Pro A season

The LNB Pro A, commonly known as Pro A and for sponsorship reasons named the Jeep Élite,[1] is the top-tier level men's professional basketball league in France. The competition has existed since 1921. Since 1987, the Ligue Nationale de Basket has organized the league. The bottom two placed teams from each season are relegated to the second tier level Pro B. The winner of the play-offs of the Pro A is crowned the French national champion.

Competition format


All 16 Pro A League teams play each other twice during the regular season. At the end of the regular season, the top eight teams qualify for the playoffs. The two teams with the worst regular season records are relegated to the 2nd-tier Pro B.


Through the 1985–86 season, the league championship was determined by a one-off final, or solely by league play. Since then, the format for the league finals has changed many times:[2]




  • 1987–1992: Best-of-3 series

  • 1993: Best-of-5

  • 1994: Best-of-3

  • 1995–1996: Best-of-5

  • 1997–2004: Best-of-3

  • 2005–2012: Single match (at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris)

  • 2013–present: Best-of-5



From the 2003–04 season, through the 2006–07 season, the Pro A League had 18 teams. Through the wild-card system, it will have 18 teams again from 2014–15 season.
