The ABA NLB League 2007–08, the seventh season of the regional Liga ABA, saw a further change in the competition structure. After trying a playoff system the previous year, the league returned to a combination of elimination and a Final Four tournament.
14 teams from Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia participated in the NLB League in its seventh season: Union Olimpija, Helios, Geoplin Slovan, Cibona, Zadar, Zagreb, Split, Široki ERONET, Crvena zvezda, Partizan, Hemofarm, FMP Železnik, Vojvodina and Budućnost.
There were 26 rounds played in the regular part of the season. Eight best teams from the regular season qualified for the best-of-three quarter-final series. The Final Four Tournament was later held in Ljubljana.
Partizan became the 2008 League Champion.
