Germany Pro A

The ProA is the second-tier league of professional club basketball in Germany. The league comprises 16 teams. Officially the ProA is part of the 2. Basketball Bundesliga, which consists of the two hierarchical leagues ProA and ProB. Before the 2007–08 season, the 2. Basketball Bundesliga was a basketball league with the same name, which consisted of two geographical divisions. At the end of the league stage, the top two teams qualify for the Basketball Bundesliga, and the teams positioned 15th and 16th are relegated to the lower league, ProB.

The Germany Pro A is a premier professional basketball league that serves as the second tier of the German basketball system, positioned just below the top-tier Basketball Bundesliga (BBL). Established to promote competitive basketball across the nation, the Pro A features a diverse array of teams from various regions, showcasing a blend of emerging talent and seasoned players.

The tournament runs annually, typically from October to May, and consists of a regular season followed by playoffs to determine the champion. Teams compete in a round-robin format, with each squad playing against others in a bid to secure a spot in the postseason. The top teams from the Pro A have the opportunity to earn promotion to the BBL, making every game crucial for teams aspiring to reach the highest level of German basketball.

The Pro A is known for its passionate fan base, vibrant atmosphere, and commitment to developing young talent. It serves as a vital platform for players to showcase their skills, gain valuable experience, and attract attention from scouts and teams in higher leagues. With a focus on competitive play and community engagement, the Germany Pro A continues to grow in popularity, contributing to the rich basketball culture in Germany.
