The Korvpalli Meistriliiga (English: Basketball Premier League) known as the Alexela Korvpalli Meistriliiga (English: Alexela Basketball Premier League) for sponsorship reasons is the first tier level men's professional basketball league in Estonia.
The first Estonian Basketball Championship tournament was held in 1925. During the Soviet occupation (1941–1991) the league was called Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic Championship. The league was named Korvpalli Meistriliiga (KML) in 1992 after Estonia regained its independence. The current KML champions are TÜ/Rock who won their seventh title.
The KML league, which is played under FIBA rules, currently consists of 9 teams. Since 2013, Alexela, an Estonian energy company, has been the main sponsor of the KML league.
