NBB is an annual championship endorsed by the Brazilian Basketball Confederation. The first phase consists in fifteen teams playing against each other in a home/away basis. Then the top eight teams go to playoffs where the first ranked team plays against the eighth team and so on. Each playoff series is a best-of-five. The best placed teams in the league qualify to FIBA Americas League and Liga Sudamericana.

For the second NBB edition, LNB confirmed the participation of 14 teams. Limeira and Bira-Lajeado couldn't keep their squads, thus won't join the following season. On the other hand, ADL Londrina is joining the League just like an Araraquara/Palmeiras deal is also bringing back to the national competition one of the most traditional Brazilian clubs.
