The 2018–19 Pro Basketball League, for sponsorship reasons the EuroMillions Basketball League, season is the 92nd season of the Pro Basketball League (PBL), first tier of basketball in Belgium. The season started on 5 October 2018.

Teams

All ten teams from the previous season would return this season. Nine teams got A-licences, which allows for participation in European competitions, while Leuven Bears received a B-licence and therefore could not play in Europe.[1]

Kangoeroes Willebroek moved from Willebroek to the city of Mechelen and changed its name into Kangoeroes Mechelen.[2] BC Oostende changed its name to Filou Oostende for sponsorship reasons.[3]
