2023–24 European North Basketball League is the third season of the European North Basketball League, a regional basketball competition patronised by FIBA. There are 16 teams participating from 11 countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Bulgaria, Romania and UK) and the regular season is divided into two groups. Four teams from each group will advance to play-offs.

There were new teams added to the league – Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Bulgaria, Romania and UK all debuted in this competition, while Russian and Belarus teams are still banned, due to ongoing 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1][2]
