The 2015–16 Cyprus Basketball Division 1 was the 49th season of the Cyprus Basketball Division 1, the top tier basketball league on Cyprus. The season started on November 6, 2015 and ended on May 3, 2016.[1] AEK Larnaca won the previous championship, and successfully defended its title.
Competition format
The participating teams first play a conventional round-robin schedule with every team playing each opponent once "home" and once "away" for a total of 14 games. The league is then split up in two groups of four teams with each of them playing teams within its group in a home-and-away cycle of games. The bottom four clubs play for one direct relegation spot and one relegation play-off spot. Records earned in the First Round are taken over to the respective Second Round.
The four teams of the top group will join the championship playoffs.
