The 2018/19 season was the twelfth season of the German ProB basketball division . The ProB is the second highest season of the hierarchically structured 2nd basketball league . The season's points round began on September 22, 2018 and ended on February 23, 2019. Leverkusen became champions, and Münster was beaten in the two finals. After the naming rights were granted to the insurance company Barmer , the league was officially called “Barmer 2. Basketball Bundesliga ProB”.

mode

24 teams are scheduled to take part in the league, divided into a northern and a southern relay. In each season, a point round is played as a round-robin tournament in the "everyone against everyone" mode with a return game. The eight best-placed teams of the two relays in the final table play two finalists in the championship round ("playoffs"), who thus acquire the athletic right to participate in the basketball Bundesliga (BBL), which they obtain when a license is granted on the basis of economic and infrastructure Eligibility criteria for promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga ProA. The championship round is held across the relay teams and in the first round provides for "cross duels" between teams from the northern and southern relay. The finalists also play the champions of this league in the two legs. The teams that are in ninth to twelfth places in the final table of the scoring round in both seasons contest a relegation round which, unlike the championship round, only provides for games within their own season ("everyone against everyone" with a return match). The teams that are in eleventh and twelfth places at the end of the relegation round in the northern and southern seasons are relegated to the 1st regional league.
