The 2023–24 Lietuvos krepšinio lyga, also called Betsafe-LKL for sponsorship reasons, will be 31st season of the top-tier level professional basketball league of Lithuania, the Lietuvos krepšinio lyga (LKL). Žalgiris is the defending champions.

Teams

12 teams will participate in the 2023–24 LKL season. On 22 May 2023, Betsafe-LKL license was granted to M Basket.[1]

Location and arenas

Wolves will be playing in the Avia Solutions Group Arena after spending their inaugural season playing in Alytus, during the reconstruction of the venue. On August 26, Rytas agreed to also return to the venue for a limited amount of matches.

Two newest members of the league will be playing home fixtures out of town, due to a lack of suitable venues. Gargždai will share the Švyturys Arena with Neptūnas after failing to agree terms to extend the lease of the Palanga Arena. M Basket will be playing in Telšiai, after the final refurbishments of the Telšiai Sports Arena managed to satisfy minimum LKL requirements.
