The Slovenian League starts with the same format it has in the last few seasons. A first regular season takes place without Union Olimpija taking part in the Adriatic League. Krka Novo Mesto and Helios Domzale, however, will be in both competitions - the Slovenian League first stage and the Adriatic League regular season. Olimpija will return to its domestic competition for the second regular season, the best four teams will advance to the playoffs, with best-of-three semifinals and best-of-five finals. Olimpija is once again the top candidate to win the competition, as it won as many as 14 titles since the Slovenian League was created in 1992. Olimpija added Jonathan Wallace, Vlado Ilievski, Vladimir Golubovic and Damjan Rudez to play with Marko Milic, Jasmin Hukic or Miha Zupan. Helios, Krka and Geoplin Slovan will be the top contenders to dethrone Olimpija. Helios landed Alvin Snow, Nicholas Jacobson and Vjekoslav Petrovic while Krka is set to compete with Smiljan Pavic, Jure Balazic or Davor Marcelic, who will turn 40 next year. Slovan features Dejan Grkovic as its main addition. Zlatorog should also find for a semifinal spot, just as it did last season.
