The 1995–96 Liga EBA season was the second edition of the Liga EBA, the fourth‑tier level of the Spanish basketball league system. Organized by the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB), the competition served as a national amateur league positioned below the professional Liga ACB, the second‑division LEB (now LEB Oro), and the third‑division LEB Plata (formerly known as the Segunda División B).
Format
- The season comprised a regular‑season phase in which participating clubs were divided into regional groups.
- Teams played a double‑round‑robin schedule within their groups.
- The top clubs from each group qualified for a promotion playoff, which determined the teams promoted to the higher division for the following season.
Participating Clubs
A total of 64 clubs entered the competition, representing the autonomous communities of Spain. The exact list of clubs varied by group, reflecting the regional organization of the league.
Significance
The 1995–96 season continued the FEB’s effort to create a nationwide amateur competition that would provide a pathway for clubs to ascend to professional status. It also contributed to the development of local talent and increased the visibility of basketball at the regional level.
