Format changes

The regular season phase 1 will be joined by 38 teams, 26 will qualify directly and the other 12 will come from the Basketball Champions League qualifying rounds. These teams will be divided into ten groups, seven groups of four teams and three groups of three teams. The two first qualified teams of each group and the four best third-placed teams (two teams from each Conference) will qualify to the regular season phase 2. These teams will be divided into six groups of four teams. The first qualified teams of each group and the best two runners-up of all groups will qualify to the play-offs with the eight teams dropped from the Basketball Champions League regular season. In the play-offs, the Round of 16 play-offs, the Quarter-Final play-offs, the Semi-Final play-offs and the Final play-offs will be played with a double-leg format. After the Basketball Champions League expansion, the qualifying rounds were eliminated and the four teams that were going to join them qualified directly to the regular season, being these reduced to 38 teams instead of the 40 initially proposed.
