Basketball league
The Ukrainian Basketball SuperLeague (USL) (Ukrainian : Українська баскетбольна суперліга ) is the first-tier level of professional basketball league in Ukraine . Established in 1992, the league is currently contested by 10 clubs. It is a tier above the Ukrainian Higher League and allows for one team from the Higher League each season to be promoted.
The league exists out of a regular season, in which team play for playoff-seeding, followed by playoffs to determine the Ukrainian champion.
