Competition format
Eleven teams are expected to play in the league, as three of the teams (Jelgava, Saldus, and Valka/Valga) must confirm they meet the requirements yet.[1] Finally, only Jelgava and Valka/Valga joined the league.
As Valka/Valga was finally admitted in the league, the club will play both Latvian and Estonian leagues. For the LBL, Valka/Valga would play, as VEF Rīga, two legs in the regular season.
