Format

edit

edit

Rule change

edit

Starting this year, FIBA Europe has decided to change the format to a pan-European competition and scrapped conferences in the regular season.[5]

edit

Marketing

edit

On 3 August 2023, FIBA Europe unveiled a new logo for the tournament.[39] Their reasons behind the logo refresh were:

The approach to the logo refresh was to elevate the initial logo concept to a more dynamic 3D look with greater depth and character. While keeping its core elements, it adds a new and vibrant dimension to the logo, offering a fresh modern feel together with the new typography.
