The Pro A league is composed of 18 teams, and a regular season runs from September to June. All teams play each other in a round-robin format - a total of 34 games per team.
Pro A games are typically spread over three days on the weekend from Friday to Sunday, with a single game often played on Sunday. The schedule for Pro A games starts in the afternoon around 3:00 p.m. and continues into the early evening for an 8:30 p.m. kickoff.
At the end of the regular season, the top eight teams play postseason games to determine the French basketball champion. At the bottom of the table, the bottom two teams are relegated to the second division — Pro B. Make your Pro B bets on our online sports betting site.

Recommended bets on the Pro A
It is a common occurrence that a ticket to the playoffs is given to a team that has more losses than wins at the end of the season or a win/loss record that is just balanced.
A recommended bet on Pro A is to keep a wide field of vision when selecting the winner. There are regular surprises, and apart from a few top teams, few clubs manage to achieve winning streaks. To determine the winner of the regular season, the ratio is about 80% wins in recent seasons.
