Regular season
[edit]The draw for the regular season was held on 24 July 2019 at the FIBA headquarters in Munich, Germany.
The 32 teams are drawn into eight groups of four, a maximum of two clubs from the same country can be in the same group. In each group, teams play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The group winners and runners-up advance to the second round, while the third-placed teams and fourth-placed teams are eliminated.
The following 4 teams chose the option of ending their continental adventure if they were eliminated from the Champions League qualifying rounds and therefore refuse to participate in the FIBA Europe Cup:
- Strikethrough teams were eliminated from the Basketball Champions League qualifying rounds and refused to participate in the FIBA Europe Cup.
- Teams marked in italics advanced to the Basketball Champions League regular season.
A total of 32 teams play in the regular season: the 12 teams directly qualified, the 5 winners of the qualifying round, the 15 of 16 losers of the 2019–20 Champions League qualifying rounds.
Depending on the number of teams mentioned above that were eliminated from the Basketball Champions League qualifying rounds and with the aim to complete the 32 places in the regular season, the number of the defeated teams in the qualifying round of the FIBA Europe Cup that advanced to the regular season were determined by the point difference recorded at the end of their pairings. In their draw, the first qualifying round was used for tie-breaking. In the draw persists, the next criterion was the performance of clubs in the last three seasons at the European competitions.
The match-days are on 22–23 October, 29–30 October, 5–6 November, 12–13 November, 19–20 November and 27 November 2019.
