The 2025–26 BNXT League will be the fifth season of the BNXT League, the highest professional basketball league in Belgium and the Netherlands. The season will start on 26 September 2025 and will finish with the playoffs in 2026.
The format is kept the same as the 2024-25 season with a round-robin regular season, in which each team will play one home game and one away game against each other team.[1] The winner of the regular season will be crowned BNXT Champion. In addition, the top teams of each country will qualify for the national play-offs. The national play-offs decide which teams become the national champions.
Teams
[edit]In the 2025-26 season, had a maximum of 18 spots for teams. QSTA United would be demoted based on the results of the 2024-25 season,[2] but could however still apply for a license in case a different team failed to obtain a license. Therefore, all 19 teams from the 2024-25 team applied for a license. Initially, the license request from two teams, QSTA United and Den Helder Suns were rejected[3] due to economic uncertainties.[4] The teams received a month to make another request for a license.[5] QSTA United opted not to make another application, having already accepted their demotion due to competitive results.[6] The Suns reapplied and received their license a month later [7][8]
The 2025-26 season will therefore consist of 10 Belgian teams and 8 Dutch teams.
