The Liga Nacional de Básquetbol Femenino (LNBF) (English: Women's National Basketball League), is the top-tier level women's professional basketball league in Paraguay. Its tournaments have been held annually since 1949 (with only 11 interruptions), and it is organized by the Paraguayan Basketball Confederation.

In some years the absolute champion was defined in a final between the winners of the Apertura and Clausura tournaments, in the event that the same club had not managed to win both tournaments, in which case it automatically won the absolute title. In previous years, the absolute title was obtained by the winner of the Copa de Campeones, which was contested between the champions of the Top Profesional Metropolitano and the Liga Nacional.

Since 2017, it was established that each championship (Apertura and Clausura) will be considered an absolute title and there will be two champions per year. After the COVID-19 pandemic, it was played annually again.
