The 2024–25 BNXT League is the fourth season of the BNXT League, the highest professional basketball league in Belgium and the Netherlands. The season began on 14 September 2024 and will finish with the playoffs in 2025.
The format for this season was changed, as teams from both countries will now play each other home and away in one round-robin regular season. Teams qualify for their national playoffs based on rankings, and the champions of each country will play each other in the BNXT finals. Additionally, relegation was entered for this season as the last-ranked team will be relegated.[1]
