The 2013–14 Eurocup Basketball will be the 12th edition of Europe's second-tier level transnational competition for men's professional basketball clubs, one level below the Euroleague. The winner of this competition earned a place at the group stage of next year's Euroleague season.

Competition format changes

The competition increases from 32 to 48 teams in the Regular Season phase. The size of the groups will grow to six teams, where the first three qualified teams will join the Last 32 stage. Another innovation this season will see clubs divided into two regional conferences for the Regular Season phase.[1]

Euroleague clubs that do not qualify for the Euroleague Top 16 will join the remaining 24 Eurocup teams for the Last 32 phase. This phase and the next ones will be similar as in the last edition.
