The 2019–20 Basketball Champions League Americas season was the 13th edition of the top-tier level professional club basketball competition in the Americas and first of the Basketball Champions League Americas (BCLA) since launched by FIBA in September 2019. It was also the 21st season of Pan-American top-level competition, as well as the 58th season of South American top-level competition.
The competition began on 28 October 2019, with the group phase, and would have been concluded in April 2020. On 14 March 2020, FIBA suspended all of its competitions until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The competition resumed on 27 October 2020 with an altered format, including a single-match final in Montevideo, Uruguay, on 30 October 2020.[2]
San Lorenzo won the last FIBA Americas League tournament. They were eliminated in the semifinals by eventual winners Quimsa, who went onto beat Flamengo 92–86 in the final to be crowned as the inaugural champions of the Basketball Champions League Americas. As champions, Quimsa qualified for the 2021 FIBA Intercontinental Cup.
A total of 12 teams from 7 countries will participate in the 2019–20 Basketball Champions League Americas. The participating teams were announced on 1 October 2019.[3]
