The qualifying tournaments took place from 2 to 5 October 2023 with six tournaments consisting of three teams, while one tournament will feature four teams. The winner of each tournament advanced to the regular season, which has been expanded for the 2023–24 season to feature 40 clubs split across 10 groups of four. 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 additional spots in the regular season of the FIBA Europe Cup opening up to be filled by the best ranked runners-up in the qualifying tournaments.
The additional spots were made available after French clubs Cholet and SIG Strasbourg both qualified for the Basketball Champions League. The two lucky losers were determined by the best ranked second-placed clubs from the FIBA Europe Cup Qualifying Tournaments in accordance to Section D of the Official Basketball Rules.
The regular season was expanded with eight teams, from 32 to 40, which were divided in 10 groups of four.
