CSKA, UNICS, Zenit, and Lokomotiv Kuban will battle in the first time organized VTB Super Cup.

According to the league's press release: "12 clubs will play in the new VTB United League: Avtodor (Russia), Astana (Kazakhstan), Enisey (Russia), Zielona Gora (Poland), Zenit (Russia), Kalev (Estonia), Lokomotiv-Kuban (Russia), Nizhny Novgorod (Russia), PARMA (Russia), UNICS (Russia), Tsmoki-Minsk (Belarus), CSKA (Russia)."

In the upcoming season, a long-term participant of the tournament - Khimki (Moscow Region) - will not play due to the funding reduction.

Before the start of the 2021-22 regular season (on September 18-19, 2021, at the VTB Arena in Moscow), a Super Cup will be held for the first time in the history of the VTB United League. The four best clubs from the previous year will take part in it: CSKA, UNICS, Zenit, and Lokomotiv-Kuban.
