Eligibility of players
All teams must have in their roster:
- A minimum of six eligible players with the Spanish national team.
- A maximum of two non-EU players.
- A maximum of three EU players, which one can be a player from an ACP country.
- If a team has not two non-EU players, it can sign a player of everywhere.
Teams can not sign any player after February 28.
Regular season
Each team of every division has to play with all the other teams of its division twice, once at home and the other at the opponent's stadium. This means that in Liga LEB the league ends after every team plays 34 games.
Like many other leagues in continental Europe, the Liga LEB takes a winter break once each team has played half its schedule. One feature of the league that may be unusual to North American observers is that the two halves of the season are played in the same order—that is, the order of each team's first-half fixtures is repeated in the second half of the season, with the only difference being the arenas used. This procedure is typical in Europe; it is also used by La Liga in football.
If two or more teams have got the same number of winning games, the criteria of tie-breaking are these:
- Head-to-head winning games.
- Head-to-head points difference.
- Total points difference.
At the final of the season:
- The regular season winner promotes directly to Liga ACB.
- Teams qualified between 2nd and 9th, will join the promotion play-offs to ACB.
- Teams qualified in 16th and 17th will play a relegation play-out to LEB Plata.
- Team qualified in 18th position is relegated directly to LEB Plata.
CB Murcia and Xacobeo Blu:sens were directly relegated from ACB after finishing in the bottom two places and they will substitute CAI Zaragoza (champion) and ViveMenorca.
CB Cornellà and Ciudad de Vigo Básquet left the league after finishing in 17th and 18th position. Also, CB Cornellà lost the play-out with CB Tarragona 2017. Fundación Adepal Alcázar as champion of LEB Plata and Lobe Huesca as LEB Plata play-off winner will enjoy the league.
Tenerife Baloncesto renounced because of a future fusion with CB 1939 Canarias and Bàsquet Mallorca will play LEB Plata after the Spanish Basketball Federation didn't accept their request. CE Lleida Bàsquet and Grupo Iruña Navarra will substitute them.
