At the end of the regular season, the team with the most points is crowned as winners of the BBL Championship.

If points are equal between two or more teams then head-to-head results between said teams are used to determine the winners. In the case of a tie between multiple teams where this does not break the tie, the winners are then determined by the points difference in the games between teams.

Following the completion of the Championship regular season, the top eight teams advance into the post-season Play-offs.
