Changes from 2017–18

As in previous seasons, LBA clubs must play in arenas that seat at least 3,500 people.^[67] From 2017–18 season, all clubs must host their home playoffs matches in arenas with a seating capacity of at least 5,000 people.^[68]

Rules

Each team is allowed either five or seven foreign players under two formulas:

5 foreigners from countries outside the European Union
3 foreigners from countries outside the EU, 4 foreigners from EU countries (also including those from countries signatory of the Cotonou Agreement)

Each club can choose the 5+5 formula, that consists of five Italian players and five foreign players, and the 3+4+5 formula, with five Italian players, three foreigners from countries outside the EU and four foreigners from EU countries or "Cotonou Countries".^[69]

At the end of the season there will be a prize of €500.000,00 for the top three ranked teams, that had chosen the 5+5 formula, considering the playing time of Italian players, and €200.000,00 for those teams that will obtain the best results with their youth sector.^[70]

Regular season

In the regular season, teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The eight first qualified teams advanced to the Playoffs, the last seven qualified teams were eliminated, while the last one qualified team was relegated and replaced by the winner of the playoffs of the second-level Serie A2 Basket. The matchdays were from October 7, 2018, to May 2019.
