For the third straight season, CSKA Moscow had their EuroLeague license rescinded following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1] Additionally, due to the war in Gaza, Maccabi Tel Aviv played abroad during most of the season, principally at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall in Belgrade; all games were behind closed doors.[citation needed]
This season introduced the play-ins, which makes the seventh to tenth-placed teams compete for their playoff spots.[2]

Rules for classification: All points scored in extra period(s) were not counted in the standings, nor for any tie-break situation.
Regulations
When more than two teams are tied, the ranking is established taking into account the victories obtained in the games played only among them. Should the tie persist among some, but not all, of the teams, the ranking of the teams still tied is determined by again taking into account the victories in the games played only among them, and repeating this same procedure until the tie is entirely resolved. If a tie persists, the ranking is determined by the point difference in favour and against in the games played only among the teams still tied.[53]
Results
Play-in
Under the new format, the 7th to 10th-ranked teams faced each other in the play-in. Each game is hosted by the team with the higher regular season record. The format was similar to the first two rounds of the Page–McIntyre system for a four-team playoff that was identical to that of the NBA play-in tournament. First, the 7th seed hosted the 8th seed, with the winner advancing to the playoffs; likewise the 9th seed hosted the 10th seed, with the loser eliminated. Then the loser of the 7-v-8 game hosted the winner of the 9-v-10 game, with the winner of that game getting the final playoff spot.

Playoffs
Playoffs series are best-of-five. The first team to win three games wins the series. A 2–2–1 format is used – teams with home-court advantage play games 1, 2, and 5 at home, while their opponents host games 3 and 4. Games 4 and 5 are only played if necessary. The four winning teams advance to the Final Four.[54]
Series
Final Four

The final four were hosted by the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany, as was announced by EuroLeague Basketball on 19 December 2022.[55] Berlin becomes the first city to host three Final Fours in league history, having already hosted the tournament in 2009 and 2016.[55]
