Sixteen games spread all around Europe open the Regular Season of the Basketball Champions League between Tuesday and Wednesday.
Defending champion, Unicaja started the 2024-25 campaign by winning the FIBA Intercontinental Cup and Supercopa Endesa. Confidently moving to Gameday 1 of the BCL Regular Season, the Group B expedition directly goes on the road against lasting original Filou Oostende.
The Belgian champions are among three clubs set for their ninth season in the top-tier club continental competition of FIBA Europe. Fellow lasting originals, La Laguna Tenerife tips off Group C versus a familiar rival, Karsiyaka, and AEK Betsson is in Group E and at home facing Maccabi Ramat Gan.
