The Promotiedivisie (English: Promotion Division) is the second tier of basketball in the Netherlands and is the highest amateur competition in the country. At the end of a Promotiedivisie-season, a Final Four is played to decide the new champion.

The champion technically earns the right to promote to the Dutch Basketball League, although it only happens in exceptional cases, because a club has to turn professional to play in the league. The bottom team relegates to the {{Interlanguage link|Eerste divisie (basketball)|lt=Eerste divisie|nl|Eerste divisie (mannenbasketbal)}}, the national third division.

In 2012, Apollo Amsterdam became the first Promotiedivise champion to promote to the next season of the Dutch Basketball League. Lokomotief is the most successful team with three won titles.

Ahead of the 2023-24 season, the Promotiedivisie was expanded to 24 teams with two groups of twelve (Group A and Group B).

Current teams

There were 24teams in the 2022–23 season.{{cite web| url = https://www.basketball.nl/competities/competities/afdelingscompetitie-zoeken/club/708/team/7006/utrecht-basketball-mse-1/competition/16687/ | title = Promotie Divisie Basketball 2022-2023, News, Teams, Scores, Stats, Standings, Awards - eurobasket}}
