Liga National Women (Romania) 2026/27

The Liga Națională de Baschet Feminin stands as the premier professional women's basketball competition in Romania. Founded in 1950 by the Romanian Basketball Federation (Federatia Romana de Baschet, FRB), the league has established itself as the highest level of the domestic game. The structure of the season is built around a regular campaign where every team faces the others twice, securing home and away fixtures against each opponent.

Following the regular schedule, the competition transitions into a playoff phase designed to crown the national champion. This stage begins with quarterfinals and semifinals, both contested through best-of-3 series. The culmination of the tournament is the Grand Final, known as the "Finala Mare," which adopts a best-of-5 format to decide the ultimate winner. A separate best-of-3 match determines the third-place finisher, adding a layer of competitive closure to the season.

A unique characteristic differentiates the women's league from its male counterpart within Romania. While the men's division mandates only one Romanian player on the court, the Liga Națională de Baschet Feminin requires two locals at all times. Furthermore, at least one of these players must be under the age of 23, a rule intended to foster local talent development.

Historically, Universitatea Cluj-Napoca holds the record for success with 14 titles. CSM Târgoviște follows closely with 12 championships. In recent years, Sepsi SIC Sfântu Gheorghe has emerged as a dominant force, securing the title in the 2024–25 season after winning the previous campaign. The league also incorporates a promotion mechanism involving a tournament between the bottom-placed teams and those from the second-tier Liga I Feminin.
