The Liga I is the second level of basketball in Romania. The league features 25 teams divided into 3 groups. The winner of the final promotion phase earns promotion to the Liga Națională.

In 2018, the Romanian Basketball Federation (FRB) merged Liga 1 into a unified National League format with value-based groups, effectively dissolving Liga 1 as a separate competition.[1][2]

In 2019, after one season under this format, the FRB reinstated Liga 1 as the official second-tier league. The reestablished Liga 1 featured teams composed exclusively of Romanian players and allowed satellite teams from top-division clubs to participate, though these teams were ineligible for promotion. Promotion and relegation between Liga 1 and the top division were maintained through playoff tournaments.[3]
