# 2024–25 LNB Élite season

The 2024–25 LNB Élite season, also known as Betclic Élite for sponsorship reasons, is the 103rd season of the LNB Élite, France's top basketball league. It began on 20 September 2024 with the regular season and will conclude at the latest on 24 June 2025 with the playoffs.
AS Monaco is the back-to-back defending champion.

## Format changes

For this season, the league was reduced from 18 to 16 teams. After the regular season, the play-in will be introduced in which the teams that finish between 7th and 10th will play for the last two playoffs spots like other European leagues. On the other hand, the 15th team from regular season will join to Pro B promotion playoffs to avoid relegation to the latter league.

## Teams

A total of 16 teams participate in the league, including 15 teams from the 2023–24 season and one promoted from the Pro B. Stade Rochelais (which will debut in the French top flight) was promoted after winning promotion playoffs, while ADA Blois, Chorale Roanne and Metropolitans 92 (relegated after two, five and 15 years in the French top flight, respectively) were relegated to Pro B.
