The 2024–25 Lietuvos krepšinio lyga season, also called Betsafe–LKL for sponsorship reasons, will be the 32nd season of the top-tier level professional basketball league of Lithuania, the Lietuvos krepšinio lyga (LKL). Rytas are defending champions.
Teams
10 teams will participate in the 2024–25 season. Despite the announcement that no team will be relegated after 2023–24 due to Gargždai bankruptcy, last place finishers Pieno žvaigždės decided to withdraw from the league due to struggles to meet league's budget requirements.[1] Due to decreased number of teams, the league's format was changed, with the format being same as 2020–21 season, where 10 teams will face-off each other 4 times with top 8 teams advancing into Playoffs.[2]
