2023–24 EuroCup Basketball

The format changes consisted of reformatting the Playoffs. Access to the stage was reduced with only six teams per group qualifying instead of eight, with the top two from each group bypassing the Eighthfinals and proceeding directly to the Quarterfinals. Furthermore, the Semifinals and Finals were switched back to a best-of-three series format, returning to it after two seasons.^[5][6]

A total of 20 teams from 14 countries participatedin the 2023–24 EuroCup season. On June 29, 2023, Euroleague Basketball confirmed the team list for this season.^[5][7] Three new teams joined the competition and Wolves will make their debut appearance.

Draw

The 20 teams were 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 were 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.^[11][9]

In the playoffs, teams played against each other in a knockout tournament into four rounds from eighthfinals to finals. At the end of the regular season, the six teams from each group with the most wins qualified for the playoffs. The two top teams from each regular season group received a bye and qualified directly to the quarterfinals. The remaining eight qualified teams entered the eighthfinals to compete in a single-game format in which the third-placed teams of each group faced off against the sixth-placed teams of the opposite groups and the fourth-placed teams of each group faced off against the fifth-placed teams of the opposite groups. The four winning teams from eighthfinals entered the quarterfinals to faced off in a single-game format in the home of the two top teams from each regular season group. The higher-placed regular season team in each matchup enjoyed home court advantage in eighthfinals and quarterfinals. From semifinals onwards, teams played in best-of-three series with the first leg and third leg, if necessary, in the home court of the higher-placed regular season team to crown the EuroCup champion.^[12][13]
