The Pacific Coast Basketball Circuit (Spanish: Circuito de Baloncesto de la Costa del PacíficoorCIBACOPA), officially known as the Liga Chevron CIBACOPA for sponsorship reasons, is a ten team basketball league based in Northwestern Mexico. [3] The matches take place from March to June. [4]
A league with the same name existed in the 1980s, and the second incarnation was founded in 2001.[5][6] The charter members were Caballeros de Culiacán, Delfines de Mazatlán, Frayles de Guasave, Lobos Marinos de La Paz, Paisas de Los Cabos, and Pioneros de Los Mochis.[6] Caballeros de Culiacán won the inaugural league title by defeating Delfines de Mazatlán four games to none in the finals.[7]
The 2019 season saw a total attendance of more than 220,000.[8]
The league celebrated its 20th season in 2020.[7] A new franchise, Gallos de Aguascalientes, was set to join but were expelled before the season began.[9]
