Liga Endesa commercial and regulatory developments
Overview
The Liga Endesa has undergone several structural and commercial changes for the 2026–27 season. The Asociación de Clubes Españoles de Baloncesto (ACB) expanded the league’s global broadcast reach to over 170 countries and territories through new partnerships with providers such as DAZN, Prima Sport, and DSports. This expansion covers markets in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.
In addition to media growth, the league introduced updated refereeing regulations that categorize unsportsmanlike fouls into flagrant fouls, which lead to disqualification, and disruptive fouls.
On the roster level, the league continues to utilize the ‘cupo’ regulation, which requires teams to include ‘jugadores de formación local’ (JFL). This rule defines local talent based on training history—requiring at least three seasons at a Spanish club between ages 13 and 20—rather than nationality. During this period, several players, including Chris Duarte and Ziga Samar, have also demonstrated significant statistical improvements following team transfers.
