The 2016 Indonesian Basketball League is the eight season under the name of IBL, a nationwide basketball competition which previously known as National Basketball League (NBL).
The league will continue, despite the fact that Azrul, the owner of PT DBL Indonesia did not renew his contract.[1] The format will be different, closer to what is done in the Philippines. Teams will play each other twice rather than three times.[2]
In the quarter-finals, the two highest-seeded teams in the series has the twice-to-beat advantage; in this case, the team with the twice to beat advantage needs to be beaten twice by its opponent, while it only has to win once, in a de facto 1–0 lead in a best-of-3 series. All other series has the best-of-three format. All games were played in BritAma Arena, Jakarta from 15 to 29 May 2016.
