The first Estonian Basketball Championship tournament was held in 1925. During the Soviet occupation (1941–1991) the league was called the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic Championship. After Estonia regained its independence in 1991, the league was reformed as the Korvpalli Meistriliiga (KML). The KML, which is played under FIBA rules, currently consists of 9 teams. The current KML champions are Kalev/Cramo who won their 8th Estonian Championship in the 2015–16 KML season.
Since 2013, the league has been sponsored by Alexela, an Estonian energy company.
