The 2026 Indonesian Basketball League (known as IBL Gopay for sponsorship reasons) is the eleventh season of Indonesian top domestic basketball league, the Indonesian Basketball League, since the re-branding by Starting5 in 2015. It is the 23rd IBL season overall since its establishment in 2003.

The regular season began on January 10, 2026, and scheduled to end on 10 May 2026, with two breaks; mid-season break from 23 February to 3 March 2026 for early Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr and Lebaran break on 16–29 March 2026.[1]

Rule Changes

The league announced several rule changes for the 2026 season.[2]

  • The semifinals and finals have been extended to a best-of-five format, a first in the league's history. Previously, these rounds used a best-of-three system.
  • In the best-of-five series, the team with the higher seed hosts games 1, 2, and a potential game 5. The lower-seeded team hosts games 3 and 4. Round 1 of the playoffs remains a best-of-three format.
  • Teams are permitted to have a maximum of three foreign players on their roster, including naturalized or heritage players. All three foreign players are allowed to be on the court at the same time.
  • Of the three foreign players, two must be 200 cm (approximately 6'7") or shorter, while one player has no height restriction.
  • A maximum monthly salary cap of US$30,000 for foreign players has been introduced to ensure financial balance and competitive equity across teams.
  • Clubs are required to register a minimum of two players under the age of 23 and ensure they receive an average playing time of at least five minutes per game throughout the season.

Teams

Eleven teams compete in the 2026 Indonesian Basketball League (IBL), a reduction from the 14 teams that participated in the previous season.

Bali United Basketball and Bima Perkasa Jogja will not take part in the 2026 season due to internal reasons.[3] Meanwhile, Prawira Harum Bandung has merged with Satria Muda Jakarta to form a new team, Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung.
