The 2020–21 EuroCup Basketball season is the 19th season of Euroleague Basketball's secondary level professional club basketball tournament. It will be the 13th season since it was renamed from the ULEB Cup to the EuroCup, and the fifth season under the title sponsorship name of 7DAYS.

Team allocation

A total of 24 teams from 13 countries will participate in the 2020–21 EuroCup Basketball. Due to the premature ending of the previous season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the eight teams that qualified for the quarterfinals were awarded with guaranteed spots. The remaining spots were awarded to teams qualifying through their domestic league's final standings.[1] On 15 June 2020, the preliminary team list for the season was approved.[2] On 22 June 2020, the team list was approved by the ECA shareholders executive board, selecting Dolomiti Energia Trento to replace Fraport Skyliners who have withdrawn from the competition.[3] On 17 September 2020, Mornar Bar replaced Maccabi Rishon LeZion which team chose to withdraw due to logistical difficulties and financial concerns complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Draw

The draw will be held on 10 July 2020 in Barcelona, Spain.[5] Media and clubs representatives will not be allowed to attend the draw due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.[6]

The 24 teams will be drawn into four groups of six, with the restriction that teams from the same league could not be drawn against each other. For the draw, the teams are seeded into six pots, in accordance with the Club Ranking, based on their performance in European competitions during a three-year period and the lowest possible position that any club from that league can occupy in the draw is calculated by adding the results of the worst performing team from each league.[5]
