About Basketball Champions League
The Basketball Champions League is FIBA Europe's top continental club competition. It launched in 2016 as a rival to the EuroLeague. The format is a mix of group stages and knockout rounds. The league runs from September through April, with the Final Four wrapping up the season. The playoffs are in full swing, with the Final Four just around the corner.
Top teams
Spanish clubs dominate the BCL. Unicaja Malaga and Lenovo Tenerife are the two heavyweights. They've won multiple titles and always make deep runs. AEK Athens is the standard in Greece. Hapoel Jerusalem and Hapoel Holon represent Israel. Italy's clubs — Virtus Bologna, Brescia, and Reggiana — are always in the mix. The field is deep. Any of eight or nine teams could win it in a given year.
Format
The BCL starts with a qualifying round for smaller leagues. Then it's a group stage with 32 teams split into eight groups of four. The top two from each group move on to the Round of 16. Then it's a two-leg knockout format until the Final Four, where the last four teams play a weekend semifinal and final. The games are competitive. The atmosphere is solid. It's not the EuroLeague, but it's not far off.
Star players
The BCL is filled with European veterans and young prospects. You're not getting NBA superstars here, but the talent level is high. American imports who didn't make the NBA, European guys who've been around for years, and young players on their way up. The rosters turn over every season, but the core of the league is steady. It's a proving ground for players trying to make the jump to the EuroLeague.
Viewership
The BCL pulls around 15 million viewers annually. The numbers are strongest in Spain, Greece, Israel, and Italy. The Final Four is the biggest draw, usually pulling in solid ratings across Europe. The league doesn't have a massive global following, but it's a staple for hardcore basketball fans in Southern and Eastern Europe.
TV options in Europe
Coverage varies by country. In Spain, RTVE and regional broadcasters carry games. In Greece, ERT picks up the AEK games. In Italy, Rai Sport and Sky Italy split the rights. There's no single pan-European broadcaster. If you're in one of the basketball countries, you can usually find the games on local TV or streaming apps.
Streaming options in the US and Worldwide
For fans outside Europe, Courtside 1891 is the official streaming platform. It's run by FIBA and carries every BCL game live and on demand. You can buy a monthly subscription or a season pass. It works in the US, Canada, and most of the world. No blackouts. No regional restrictions. If you're a fan of European basketball, this is the move.
Current season
The 2025-26 BCL season kicked off in September 2025. The group stage wrapped up in January. The Round of 16 is happening now in April, with the quarterfinals coming up later this month. The Final Four is scheduled for May. Unicaja Malaga are the defending champions after winning it all last season. They're still in the hunt this year, along with Tenerife, AEK Athens, and a couple of surprise teams from Germany and France.
