2009–10 Basketball Bundesliga


The Basketball Bundesliga 2009–10 was the 44th season of the Basketball Bundesliga. Ten days before the start of the season, Beko was presented as the new main sponsor of the BBL. The sponsorship agreement was made for a period of six years and included a rebranding of the league name to Beko BBL. After topsy-turvy playoffs that saw all of the top four teams in the regular season defeated in the first round, Brose Baskets Bamberg won the title after a 5-game final series against the Skyliners Frankfurt, who had defeated another higher seed in the semifinals. It was the 3rd title for Bamberg, who were also the only higher-seeded team to win a playoff series this season.
