The Basketball Champions League has announced the draw details for its eleventh season, involving 54 teams. The journey to the championship begins with Qualification Round Tournaments from September 14 to 20, 2026, where 24 teams will compete for two spots in the Regular Season.
The Regular Season is slated to start on October 6, 2026. Thirty teams directly qualified, along with the two winners from the Qualification Rounds, will be divided into eight groups of four teams. Country protection rules will apply during the Regular Season draw to prevent teams from the same nation being placed in the same group.
Following the Regular Season, there will be no additional draw for the Play-In series and the Round of 16. The second and third-placed teams from adjacent Regular Season groups will advance to best-of-three Play-In series. The winners will then feed into predetermined Round of 16 groups.
