The 2015–16 FIBA Europe Cup was the inaugural season of the newly formed basketball competition organised by FIBA . The season started on 21 October 2015 and ended on 1 May 2016.
The competition replaced the EuroChallenge and had the aim to take the place of Eurocup (organised by Euroleague Basketball ), as the second-tier competition in Europe.
Format [ ]
In the Regular season, 56 teams are divided into 14 groups of four teams. In the Round of 32, the first and second best teams from the Regular season play in groups of four. Starting from the Round of 16, quarter-finals will be played. The tournament will conclude with a Final Four .[1]
Teams [ ]
The deadline to register in the competition was on July 30. The official list of teams was announced on August 3.[2]
Numbers in bracket represent the place the team took in its 2014–15 domestic championship, representing rankings after eventual Playoffs.
Notes
^a Porto played last season in the Portuguese second tier, Proliga .
^b Hibernia was a newly created team, established by Basketball Ireland to compete in the competition.[3]
^c FIBA Europe announced that the Romanian club BC Timișoara have withdrawn their participation in the competition. Helios Suns replaced the team.[4]
Draw [ ]
The draw was held on August 4, 2015 in Munich , Germany. The seeding was prepared on the basis of the clubs' participation and results in European Club Competition in recent years as well as the clubs' ranking in their respective domestic leagues last season.[2]
