The Benin Basketball Super League (French: Super Ligue de Basket-ball du Bénin), for sponsorships known as the YouZou Ligue Pro, is the highest level basketball league in Benin. The competition is organised annually by the Fédération Beninoise de Basket-ball (FBBB).
The champions of each season qualify for the Road to BAL.
History
In 2020 the league became professional as the Benisese government under President Patrice Talon passed a law that required all sports clubs to be operated as companies. The move also allowed foreign players to compete in the league.
Three years later, in May 2023, the league received a substantial subsidy from the Beninese government to further develop the sport in the country. The association received $323,000 (100m CFA franc) which was divided over the league and its nine teams.
For the 2023–24 season, the Super League expanded from 8 to 12 teams, divided in two conferences.
