The Korvpalli Meistriliiga (English: Basketball Champions League), known as the Alexela Korvpalli Meistriliiga for sponsorship reasons, is the highest level tier and most important professional club basketball competition in Estonia, and is controlled by the Estonian Football Association.
The first Estonian Basketball Championship tournament was held in 1925. During the Soviet occupation (1941–1991) the league was called the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic Championship. After Estonia regained its independence in 1991, the league was reformed as the Korvpalli Meistriliiga (KML). The KML, which is played under FIBA rules, currently consists of 9 teams. The current KML champions are Kalev/Cramo who won their 8th Estonian Championship in the 2015–16 KML season.
Since 2013, the league has been sponsored by Alexela, an Estonian energy company.
During the regular season teams will play 4 rounds for 32 games (2 at home and 2 away) with following exceptions:
Double points will be awarded to teams winning those games.
‡ Note: In the 1944 season two championship tournaments were held (s – summer tournament; w – winter tournament).
