Opt-in teams

The following teams of the Basketball Champions League qualifying rounds had opted in to participate in the FIBA Europe Cup in case they do not reach the Basketball Champions League regular season, out of which a maximum of 18 will join the regular season:[1]

Qualifying round

The qualifying round will take place from 24 to 27 September 2024 in two-legged ties in which the series winners will advance to the regular season. As clubs that have opted in from the Basketball Champions League qualifying rounds could qualify to the Basketball Champions League regular season, this may lead to additional spots in the regular season of the FIBA Europe Cup opening up to be filled by the best losers series in the qualifying round.[2]

It will be the first time that basketball team from Malta will participate in international competition since the 1992–93 FIBA European Cup.
