18 teams are divided into two groups of nine teams each for the regular season. The draw for the regular season groups took place on July 24.[6]
Clubs are guaranteed eight games in the main tournament – four at home and four away. The top four teams from each group will qualify for the playoffs (A1-B4, A2-B3, A3-B2, A4-B1). The winners of the quarterfinals will be determined by the sum of two games, with the second game being played at the home court of the higher-seeded team. The Final Four will take place in April 2025.[7]
