Team changes

Azomco Global Flame was promoted as the champions of the Rwanda Basketball League Division 2. Keplerians were ineligible to promote, as it is a sister club of Kepler BBC, and thus Flame Basketball Club was given the promotion spot.
On January 22, 2025, Flame was disqualified from the RBL season for failing to prove it had the required Rwf 100 million. The season continued with nine teams.
