Team allocation[edit]

Country rankings[edit]

The BCL Country Ranking is used to define the number of clubs each country is entitled to enter into the various stages of the BCL.

The results are based on the results of the past three seasons (the 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons).[2]

Notes

  1. ^
    Netherlands (NED): ZZ Leiden would have qualified as the winners of the 2022-23 BNXT Dutch Playoffs, but withdrew from applying because their arena did not meet FIBA Europe's capacity standards.[4] As a result, the spot was given to Heroes Den Bosch, third in the national league.

Qualifying rounds[edit]

Draw[edit]

The draw for the qualifying rounds will be made on 5 July 2023. The 25 teams were divided into six pots. The top eight national champions from the unrepresented nations were placed into Pots 1 and 2, and the remaining clubs into Pots 3–6. Pots are arranged based on the competition's club ranking and, for clubs that have not yet participated in the competition, on the country ranking.[5]

The three winners of the finals will then qualify for the regular season and join the 29 directly qualified teams in the main draw. The rest of the teams will be demoted, if they apply, to the FIBA Europe Cup.[5]

Venue[edit]

On July 27, 2023, it was announced that Antalya Sports Hall in Antalya, Turkey, has been selected as the host city for the Qualification Rounds which was scheduled to take place from 24 September to 1 October.[6]
