The 2025–26 AdmiralBet ABA League is the 24th season of the ABA League. Beside 16 teams from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia and United Arab Emirates, the ABA league board proposed possible expansion to 20 teams,[1] with up to four wild cards given to any basketball team from the Europe or wider.[2][3][4] Some clubs from central and west Europe[5][6] and Hapoel Tel Aviv[7] from Israel were showing interest for the participation. On July 8, it was announced that Romanian club U-BT Cluj-Napoca and Austrian club BC Vienna will get the wild cards, while Hapoel Tel Aviv most likely would not play in the league.[8][9]

KK Ilirija from Slovenia qualified to the league for the first time.

KK Partizan are defending champions.
