Schedule

The schedule of the competition will be as follows.^[3]

Qualifying tournaments

The qualifying tournaments will take place from 2 to 5 October 2023 with six tournaments consisting of three teams, while one tournament will feature four teams. The winner of each tournament will advance to the regular season, which has been expanded for the 2023–24 season to feature 40 clubs split across 10 groups of four. 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 ranked runners-up in the qualifying tournaments.
