The Turkish Basketball Second League, also called TB2L, is the third-tier level league of professional club basketball in Turkey. The league was previously called the Turkish Basketball Third League (TB3L).
Format and promotion and relegation
Regular Season Competitions: Twenty-one (21) teams are divided into two (2) groups (A and B), one (1) group of ten (10) teams and one (1) group of eleven (11) teams. Regular season competitions are played in two round-robin format, with away games. Based on the points tally after these competitions:
In each group, a total of four (4) teams ranked first (1st) and second (2nd) in each group qualify for the Play-Off Quarterfinals.
A total of eight (8) teams ranked third (3rd), fourth (4th), fifth (5th), and sixth (6th) in their groups qualify for the Play-Off Qualifying Round to qualify for the Play-Off Quarterfinals.
The teams finishing seventh (7th), eighth (8th), and ninth (9th) in the ten (10) team group, and the seven (7) teams finishing seventh (7th), eighth (8th), ninth (9th), and tenth (10th) in the eleven (11) team group, will complete the season.
The two (2) teams finishing last in their group will lose their right to play in the TB2L the following season.
In the Play-Off Elimination Round, the paired teams will face off in a two (2) elimination match, one at home and one at their opponent's home turf.
Play-Off Quarterfinal Matches are played between the four (4) teams that finished in the top two (2) places in their groups at the end of the regular season and the four (4) teams that advanced to the next round as a result of the Play-Off Elimination Round, each with two (2) wins.
Play-Off Semifinals are played between the four (4) teams that advance from the Play-Off Quarterfinals, with three (3) wins. The two winning teams qualify for the Turkish Basketball League (TBL). These two teams then play a single-game final to determine the champion.
