Quoting from IBL’s official website, the Indonesian Basketball League competition was first held in 2003. In that year there were only 12 teams participating in IBL, besides that at that time Perbasi was still standing independently.

The first IBL participating club covered six cities, namely Bogor, Bandung, Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Salatiga, and Surabaya. From 2010 to 2015 the management of the Indonesian basketball league shifted to PT. Cross Basketball Detection (DBL) and renamed the National Basketball League.

However, in 2015 Perbasi appointed the Starting Five operator to manage the highest basketball competition in Indonesia and finally IBL returned to present Indonesia’s best basketball club competition. That year, CLS Knights Surabaya won the first edition of IBL Reborn.
