Teams
All teams of the season 2009–10, which had qualified for the season 2010–11 by sportive means, have been granted a licence for the season 2010–11. BBC Bayreuth and Cuxhaven BasCats of the Pro A division have qualified by sportive means to play in Basketball Bundesliga 2010–11. BBC Bayreuth have received a licence for the BBL. However Cuxhaven BasCats waived their rights for promotion, which resulted in a free slot. The clubs of the BBL decided unanimously to grant a wildcard for this slot to GIANTS Düsseldorf. GIANTS Düsseldorf finished on a relegation position in the previous season and, because the financial requirements tied to the wildcard could be met, the club has been prevented from relegation.| Team | City/Area | Arena | Arena Capacity | 09–10 Ranking |
