LNB reveals 2026-2027 basketball budgets
The Ligue Nationale de Basket (LNB) has released the budgets and salary figures for the upcoming 2026-2027 season for its top two leagues, Betclic ELITE and ELITE 2. This information includes details on player and coach compensation for the 36 teams in these leagues.BeBasket to publish detailed salary data
BeBasket, a French basketball news outlet, is preparing to release a comprehensive breakdown of the salaries for all players and coaches in the French professional basketball leagues. The data will be based on an investigation that involved checking multiple sources and verifying information with the clubs.Salary transparency differs in European basketball
Unlike the NBA, where player earnings are made public, French and broader European basketball leagues keep salary details private. This lack of transparency often leads to speculation, especially among young players who are considering opportunities in other leagues like the NCAA, Asia, or other European countries.Salaries are presented with limitations
The disclosed salaries are given in annual net euros, which excludes certain benefits such as profit-sharing plans, bonuses, and housing. The estimates have a margin of error of approximately ±10%, with higher uncertainty for foreign players due to exchange rate fluctuations between dollars and euros.Future releases include international player analysis
After releasing the salaries for the 16 Betclic ELITE teams and 20 ELITE 2 teams, BeBasket plans to publish a study on French players competing abroad. Additional features will be released throughout the 2026-2027 season, with premium subscribers gaining access to exclusive content and benefits.
