The 2000 LNBP was the 1st season of the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional, one of the professional basketball leagues of Mexico. It started on August 7, 2000 and ended in December 2000.[1] The league title was won by Correcaminos UAT Tampico, which defeated Correcaminos UAT Victoria in the championship series.

Format

11 teams take part in the season. Since the number of teams is odd, one team rests each week.[2] The teams are divided in two groups (A and B), and their ranking among these groups depends on their position in the regular season standings. The first 4 teams of each group qualify for the postseason.[1]
