Teams

Promotion and relegation (pre-season)

Despite the aim of the Spanish Basketball Federation to increase the number of teams to 16, only a total of 15 teams.

Despite being relegated to Liga EBA, Sáenz Horeca Araberri achieved a vacant berth like CB Ciudad de Valladolid and Fundación Lucentum Baloncesto, two new-creation teams. Instituto de Fertilidad Clínicas Rincón resigned to its place in LEB Oro and decided to join the league.

Copa LEB Plata

At the half of the league, the two first teams in the table play the Copa LEB Plata at home of the winner of the first half season (13th round). If this team doesn't want to host the Copa Princesa, the second qualified can do it. If nobody wants to host it, the Federation will propose a neutral venue.

The Champion of this Cup will play the play-offs as first qualified if it finishes the league between the 2nd and the 5th qualified. The Copa Princesa will be played on January 29, 2016.
