TLÜ/Kalev is an Estonian professional basketball club founded in 2002. They play in the Korvpalli Meistriliiga and internationally in the Baltic Basketball League.

The team plays its home games at Kalev Sports Hall.

History

The club was founded as Pirita Palliklubi in 2002. The team reached finals in the 2002 Estonian Basketball Cup but lost to TÜ/Rock.

In 2008 Pirita joined the renowned Kalev Tallinn multi-sport club, renaming itself after the club and moving to the Kalevi Spordihall. The team gained some notable additions for the 2009–10 season, signing the former Kalev/Cramo power forward Travis Reed, while former Estonia men's national basketball team coach Üllar Kerde joined the coaching staff.

In 2010 the team merged with TTÜ, the latter becoming TTÜ/Kalev, while Kalev became TTÜ/Kalev II. Both teams competed in the 2010–11 KML season and the 2010–11 Baltic Basketball League. The unified team dissolved after the 2010–11 season and both clubs continued separately.^[1]

For the 2014–15 KML season, Kalev signed an agreement with Tallinn University and will compete under the name TLÜ/Kalev.
