About French LNB
The Betclic Élite is the top professional men's basketball league in France. It's an 18-team competition that runs from September through June. The league is known for developing NBA talent and features some of the best players in Europe. The regular season is in the final stretch, with the playoffs coming up next month.
Top teams
AS Monaco Basket is the dominant force in French basketball. With deep pockets and a roster full of former NBA and EuroLeague players, they've won multiple titles in recent years. ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne is the other giant — owned by Tony Parker, they have a strong development system and consistently compete for the championship. Boulogne-Levallois, Nanterre, and Cholet are regular playoff contenders. The league is top-heavy, but the playoffs can produce upsets.
Format
The league has 18 teams. Each plays each other twice in the regular season. The top eight teams advance to the playoffs. The quarterfinals and semifinals are best-of-three series. The final is a best-of-five series for the championship. The bottom two teams are relegated to the Pro B division. The format rewards regular-season performance while leaving room for upsets.
Viewership
The Betclic Élite pulls around 5 million viewers globally each season. The numbers are strongest in France, where basketball is growing in popularity. Monaco and ASVEL matches draw the biggest audiences. The league also gets attention from NBA scouts and fans who follow French prospects. The playoff finals are the biggest TV draw of the season.
Global streaming with DAZN

A DAZN subscription provides access to all games, including the All-Star Game and Leaders Cup. Eight games per week are broadcast across Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Streaming options in France
In France, the broadcast landscape is split. L'Équipe provides free-to-air coverage of selected matches. Skweek manages the premium digital broadcasting matrix, with DAZN also carrying the full league package.
International viewing and VPN use
DAZN is the exclusive global partner, so international fans should use DAZN to watch the league. The official LNB website offers a live schedule and full replays, though this may have geographical restrictions. If geo-restrictions prevent access from certain locations, a VPN may be used to access streams.
