The first official act of the 2022-23 EuroCup comes our way on Friday, July 8, with the annual draw to divide the 20 participating teams into two regular-season groups.

The draw will be held according to seeds. The 20 qualified teams will be divided into 10 seeds with two teams in each, in accordance with the Club Ranking elaborated for this purpose.

The performance of teams in Euroleague Basketball competitions during a three-year period will be used. Each club will get 2 points for a win and 1 point for a tie or loss from the Regular Season onwards.

2 bonus points are allocated for reaching the last 16, 2 bonus points are allocated for reaching the last 8, 1 bonus point is allocated for reaching the last 4, 1 bonus point is allocated for reaching the Finals.

The Club Ranking consists of the sum of the club coefficients from the last three years. The results of the worst-performing team from each country/League will be added together every year to create a position for that country/League in the Club Ranking. This is the lowest possible position that any club from that country/League can occupy in the draw.

Two teams from the same domestic league cannot coincide in the same Regular Season group, except when there are more than two teams from the same domestic league participating in the Regular Season.

In this case, the draw will try to balance the number of representatives in each Group until it is physically impossible to preserve the Group Draw Restrictions without blocking the draw.

Teams will be drawn one by one from an urn containing only teams in the same Seed, from the 1 Seeds through to the 10 Seeds, until all 20 teams have been selected. The first team drawn will be allocated in Group A and therefore, the other team in the seed will be allocated in Group B.

In case of a country restriction, either team can be directly allocated in one Group so the other team in the seed will be allocated in the other Group. A team may be placed directly into a Group to follow the restriction mentioned above.
