The Angolan Men's Basketball League, (in Portuguese) Campeonato Nacional de Basquetebol em Séniores Masculinos is the top tier men’s basketball league in Angola. Formerly known as BAI Basket, and now BIC Basket, named after its major sponsor, formerly Banco Africano de Investimento and now Banco de Investimento e Crédito, the competition is organized by the Angolan Basketball Federation.

In 2014, the Angolan Basketball Federation signed a sponsoring deal with Angola's Banco de Investimento e Crédito, which it claimed to be more favourable than the one with Banco Africano de Investimento. Such agreement caused the league to be renamed as BIC Basket.[1]

Primeiro de Agosto has been the most successful club in Angola with a total 17 titles won, followed by Petro de Luanda, with 11, ASA, 3, Recreativo do Libolo and Sporting Clube de Luanda, 2, whereas Clube Ferroviário de Luanda have won a title.
