The CIBAPAC is a developmental league that was created with the aim of developing young talent in Northwestern Mexico, especially in cities without a professional team.

[5] The competition, which was officially presented at a press conference the following month, was created as a developmental league for young talent in the Pacific region of Mexico, with the teams initially based in the states of Sinaloa and Durango in its first season.

[8][14] The Paskolas directly qualified for the finals after the Ingenieros de Culiacán were unable to travel to Navojoa for the semifinals due to economic problems, which was condemned by league president César Ojeda.

[16] The teams were the following: The CIBAPAC held its first All-Star Game on 19 November 2017 in Durango at the Auditorio del Pueblo [es], the home venue of the Águilas UNES.

[18] The league championship was won by the Águilas UNES, who swept the Peregrinos de Badiraguato in the finals.

[21] Following the success of the Peregrinos de Badiraguato the previous season, the municipal government invested MXN$100,000 so that the team could give the public free admission to all their home games in 2018.

[22] The Peregrinos went on to reach the finals, where they defeated the Linces de Santiago Papasquiaro, 3–2, to capture the league championship.

[28][29] In the finals, the Colorados overcame a 2–0 series deficit against the Peregrinos by winning three games in a row to secure the 2019 CIBAPAC championship.

[38] It was also originally announced that there would be eight teams divided into two groups that would play in Loreto and San José del Cabo.

[38] The 2020 "bubble" playoffs ultimately consisted of a six-team round-robin tournament, held in La Paz and Cabo San Lucas, where the top two teams then qualified for the championship game.

[47] Each Region held a semifinals and finals round, each in a best-of-three format to determine their respective champions.

[51] The Ensenada Lobos beat the Demoledora de Linares, 96–93, in the other semifinal the next day, with Jeff Early Jr. recording 48 points, eight rebounds and five assists.

[52] The Lobos defeated the Potros, 103–88, in the championship game, and Early was named the Finals MVP after scoring 36 points.

[62] In an effort to move towards professionalism, it also established a rule ending the practice of using local referees for home games.

[64] Notably, the Reyes de Durango signed Irwin Ávalos, a hometown player and national team member.
