The 2018–19 BIBL season is the 11th edition of Balkan International Basketball League (BIBL). The competition started on 16 October 2018.[1]

Competition format

Originally eight teams joined the competition, but Prishtina 2019 withdrew its participation in January due to the commitment in the FIBA Europe Cup.[2]

The remaining seven teams play a round robin tournament where each team faced the others in home and away games. The top four teams qualify directly for the Final Four.[3]
