The league adopted the practice of playing their first round at one site on neutral ground and all games were played in Madrid. Newly promoted Ensino opened proceedings on Saturday and got good games from Regina Gomez and Starr Breedlove, but Mehryn Kraker and Sedis came away with an 82-71 win as Anniina Aijanen also made her professional debut while Jay-Ann Bravo-Harriott started her professional career in the loss. Paola Ferrari and Gabriela Ocete fired Al-Qazeres past Ferrol 86-64 as Akela Maize made her professional debut in the win while Amarah Coleman and Mart Miscenko did the same in the loss. Valencia had a tough draw for their first game after promotion, but had a credible effort against Avenida thanks to Meiya Tirrera, but lost 69-57 as Tinara Moore made her professional debut. The day ended with Ariel Edwards leading Araski past Zamarat 69-64. A number of players played their first professional games in the loss as Carlie Wagner, Chelsea Nelson, and Tamara Seda all featured. Sunday’s games started with a good one as Gipuzkoa edged Bembibre 60-58 with Vionese Pierre-Louis making her professional debut. Sant Adria made drastic roster changes as Maria Jespersen made her professional debut, Imani Wright played her first overseas game, and Aina Ayuso returned to the country instead of continuing her college career as they lost to Gernika 77-42. Brittany Brown led Zaragoza and Paulina Hersler and Laia Flores made their professional debuts, but Nadia Gomes Colhado and Shay Murphy helped Girona finish the weekend with an 82-60 win.
