FIBA has announced plans to expand the FIBA Intercontinental Cup to the champion teams from the FIBA Asia Champions Cup, Basketball Africa League (BAL), NBL from Australia, and possibly the NBA, at some point in the future.[2][3]

From 2020 to 2022, the league was cancelled three seasons in a row due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
