The Promotiedivisie (English: Promotion Division) is the second tier of basketball in the Netherlands and is the highest amateur competition in the country.
At the end of a Promotiedivisie-season, a Final Four is played to decide the new champion.
The champion technically earns the right to promote to the Dutch Basketball League, although it only happens in exceptional cases, because a club has to turn professional to play in the league.
The bottom team relegates to the Eerste divisie [nl], the national third division.
In 2012, Apollo Amsterdam became the first Promotiedivise champion to promote to the next season of the Dutch Basketball League.
