The Basketligaen (English: The Basketball League) is the highest professional basketball league in Denmark. The original men's first division was founded in 1957.

Previously, the Basketball League was name-sponsored as Canal Digital Ligaen and Jordanligaen, but has also previously (as now) been without a sponsor name. The first sponsor name was Premierligaen and it has also previously been called Elitedivisionen and 1. division. The current league was founded in 1998.

All-time record holder in league titles is Bakken Bears, which has captured 18 titles in its history. BMS is the only team with 5 titles in a row, starting in 1986 through 1990. The main TV partner of the league is Sport Live. The league consists of 11 teams, with no relegation rules.

From the 2021/2022 season, the league was combined into one league again. The league started with 10 teams and expanded to 11 when Holbæk/Stenhus joined in 2022/23.
