Teams registered for FIBA Europe Cup season 2020-21 confirmed

MUNICH (Germany) – FIBA Europe has announced the participating clubs of this year’s FIBA Europe Cup, ahead of the competition’s draw next week.

A total of 16 teams have had their registration confirmed to play in the FIBA Europe Cup season 2020-21 and up to 11 further clubs could join from the Basketball Champions League Qualifiers, with 20 different National Federations and Leagues represented.

Due to the lower number of registrations than in the past, the competition format for the Regular Season foreseen in the FIBA Europe Cup regulations has been modified to seven groups of three or four teams, with the change approved unanimously by the FIBA Europe Executive Committee.

Subsequently, no qualification will be played and all participating teams will start in the Regular Season.
