The 2025–26 ProA is the 19th season of the ProA, the second level of basketball in Germany. The champions and the runners-up of the play-offs will promote to the 2026–27 Basketball Bundesliga.

Teams

In the 2025-26 season, 18 teams participated in the ProA.

Due to the BBL only consisting of 17 teams in the 2024-25 season, only BG Göttingen was demoted from the BBL. With the 2 finalists promoting to the BBL and 3 teams pulling back their license for the ProA, the league had space for four teams to be promoted from the ProB. These teams were Bayer Giants Leverkusen, SBB Baskets, RheinStars Köln and Paderborn Baskets.
