The Greek A2 Basket League (Greek: Ελληνική Α2 Μπάσκετ Λιγκ), is a professional basketball league in Greece. It is the 2nd-tier level of pro competition, among clubs in the country. It is organized by the Hellenic Basketball Federation (E.O.K.). The league is also known as the Greek A2 Basket Elite League (Ελληνική Α2 Μπάσκετ Ελίτ Λιγκ) for sponsorship reasons.
In the 1986–87 season, the current format for Greek professional basketball, consisting of the A1 National Category and the A2 National Category was formed.
Starting with the 2015–16 season, playoffs were added between the 2nd and 5th placed teams for promotion to the 1st tier level Greek Basket League, and a one-game play-out was added to decide relegation to the 3rd tier level Greek B Basket League.[1]
At the end of each season, the following promotion and relegation takes place:
