The 2024–25 Latvian–Estonian Basketball League, known as Optibet Latvian-Estonian Basketball League for sponsorship reasons, is the seventh season of the Latvian–Estonian Basketball League, the premier basketball competition for men's teams in Latvia and Estonia.
The number of participating teams was reduced from 16 to 15, due to BC Prometey and Tallinn Kalev/SNABB leaving the league. However, another team from Keila joined.[1] There was also some interest from different Ukrainian and Israeli teams to participate.[2]
