The National Basketball League (NKL) (), also known as 7bet-NKL for sponsorship reasons, is the second-tier basketball minor league in Lithuania. It is placed below the top division Lietuvos krepà ¡inio lyga (LKL). The competition currently consists of 15 teams. The champions of the league have the option to promote to the LKL. However, this rarely happens, as most clubs do not meet the budgetary and arena infrastructure related requirements.
The league was established in 2005, when the second division LKAL (Lietuvos Krepà ¡inio A Lyga, Lithuanian Basketball A League) was abolished and split into two divisions, the NKL, which is its direct successor, and the newly founded third division RKL.
NKL necessitates an arena with a seating capacity of 500 in order to enter in the competition.
