The ProLeague (Polianian: Ⱂⱃⱁ Ⰾⰻⰳⰰ tr. Pro Liga), abbreviated PPL (ⰒⰒⰎ) to differentiate it from the Narozalic Pro League, is the top-tier professional basketball league in Poliania. Alongside the NPL, it is considered to be one of the top men's basketball leagues in the world.
The league is made up of 20 teams. Teams play each other a total of four times, twice home and twice away, for a total of 76 games. The league champion is determined by single-elimination playoffs made up of the top 12 teams in the league, with the first four getting an automatic bye. The season runs from the second week of March through the third week of August, with playoffs beginning in late-April.
The ProLeague was formed in 1959 as a merger of Pro Basketball Association and the SuperLeague. The league is an active member of the Polianian Basketball Association, the national governing body for basketball in Poliania.
