The Nemzeti Bajnokság I/A (English: National Championship I/A, commonly abbreviated NB I/A) is the highest level league of club men's basketball in Hungary.[1][2]

Format[]

The league comprises 14 teams. A NB I/A season is split into a league stage and a playoff/playout stage. At the end of the league stage (14 teams) the top 5 teams play another league stage, another 5 play with each other, and then the top 8 teams qualify for the playoff stage.
