Qualifying round

edit

The qualifying round took place from 24 to 27 September 2024 in two-legged ties in which the series winners advanced to the regular season. As clubs that have opted in from the Basketball Champions League qualifying rounds could qualify to the Basketball Champions League regular season, this led to three additional spots in the regular season of the FIBA Europe Cup opening up to be filled by the best loser series in the qualifying round.[3]

It was the first time that basketball team from Malta will participate in international competition since the 1992–93 FIBA European Cup.
