The 2013 Israeli Basketball League Cup is the 8th edition of the Israeli Basketball League Cup pre-season tournament. It plays between October 6 and October 10 at Bet Maccabi in Rishon LeZion and NOKIA Arena in Tel Aviv.

The Israeli Basketball League Cup is a pre-season professional basketball tournament that is contested between clubs. It has been held in Israel since 2006. It is held during the week before the start of the Israeli Premier League season. The Israeli League Cup tournament is currently sponsored by Pais Lotto, and therefore it is officially known as the Chance Cup. Previously, the tournament was sponsored by the Toto Winner Organization, and it was known as the Winner Cup, from 2006 to 2009. In 2010, it had no sponsor, and therefore the tournament was named Basketball League Cup.

Rishon LeZion is the fourth largest city in Israel, located along the central Israeli coastal plain 8 km (5 mi) south of Tel Aviv. It is part of the Gush Dan metropolitan area.

Tel Aviv is the second most populous city in Israel—after Jerusalem—and the most populous city in the conurbation of Gush Dan, Israel's largest metropolitan area. Located on the country's Mediterranean coastline and with a population of 443,939, it is the economic and technological center of the country.

Participants

As the format states, the top eight teams on the 2012–13 Israeli Super League qualified for the tournament. However, league champions Maccabi Haifa were at the time in the United States competing against clubs of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and were therefore replaced by ninth placed team Hapoel Holon.

The 2012–2013 Israeli Basketball Super League, for sponsorship reasons known as Ligat Loto, was the 59th season of the Israeli Basketball Super League. The season began on 14 October 2012, and ended on 13 June 2013.

Maccabi Haifa Basketball Club, for sponsorship reasons Maccabi Hunter Haifa, is a professional Israeli basketball club that belongs to the Maccabi Haifa association. They play in Liga Leumit, the second division of Israeli basketball. The club won their first championship in 2013, beating perennial champions Maccabi Tel Aviv in the final game.
