The season consists of a home-and-away schedule of 30 games, followed by an eight-team playoff round. The Quarterfinals are best-of-five, while the semifinals and finals series are best-of-seven. The last placed club is
relegated, and is replaced by the winner of the playoffs of the second-level
Serie A2 Basket. Each team is allowed either five or seven foreign players under two formulas: • 5 foreigners from countries outside the
European Union • 3 foreigners from countries outside the E.U., 4 foreigners from E.U. countries (also including those from countries signatory of the
Cotonou Agreement) In early September 2015, nine squads had chosen the 5+5 formula and seven the 3+4+5. ==Regular season==
