Basket Liga Kobiet, BLK (2001–2013 Polska Liga Koszykówki Kobiet, PLKK) is a professional women's club basketball league in Poland. It constitutes the first and highest-tier level of the Polish league pyramid. The winning team of the final round are crowned the Polish Champions of that season.

Contents

The BLK, which is played under FIBA rules, currently consists of 12 teams (professional basketball's clubs). A BLK season is split into a league stage and a playoffs stage. At the end of the league stage, the top eight teams qualify for the playoff stage.

Founded in 1929, it has been carried out every year since except for 1935 and World War II. Wisła Kraków is the most successful team in the championship with 25 titles, followed by AZS Warsaw, Lotos Gdynia and ŁKS Łódź with fourteen, eleven and nine respectively. Gdynia holds the longest winning streak with eight titles in a row between 1998 and 2005. As of 2012 the PLKK is one of four leagues granted three spots in the Euroleague along with France's LFB, Russia's Premier League and Spain's LFB.
