Dreamland Gran Canaria are the title holders and will be defending champions after refusing to take part in the 2023–24 EuroLeague via spot granted to the finalist.[2]

Format changes

The format changes consisted of reformatting the Playoffs. Access to the stage has been reduced with only six teams per group qualifying instead of eight, with the top two from each group bypassing the Round of 16 and proceeding directly to the Quarterfinals. Furthermore, the Semifinals and Finals have been switched back to a best-of-three series format, returning to it after two seasons.[3]

Team allocation

Euroleague Basketball confirmed the team list for the season on 29 June 2023.[3] A total of 20 teams from 14 countries are participating in the 2023–24 EuroCup. Three new teams joined the competition and Wolves will make their debut appearance.

Draw

The 20 teams will be drawn into two groups of 10, with the restriction that teams from the same league could not be drawn against each other, except when there were more than two teams from the same league participating in the regular season. For the draw, the teams will be seeded into 10 pots, in accordance with the Club Ranking, based on their performance in European competitions during a three-year period and the lowest possible position that any club from that league can occupy in the draw is calculated by adding the results of the worst performing team from each league .[4][5]
