Valencia's basketball team has had a pretty good time of it in the top division (Liga ACB) in recent years, winning the title in 2017, though, as in football, the league habitually gets won by Real Madrid or Barcelona. The season runs from October to May. You can buy tickets online or at several sales points around the city.
