European professional basketball club rankings

The European professional basketball club rankings are determined by the results of the professional basketball clubs in the EuroLeague and the EuroCup over the previous three seasons, excluding the competition's qualifying rounds. This ranking is exhaustive and does not include all the European club as it is based on closed ligue participation. The FIBA proposes its own alternative rankings. ^[1]

The clubs receive two points for a win and one point for a tie or loss, in games of the main stages (and onwards) of the EuroLeague and the EuroCup. Qualifying round results are not taken into account. Clubs also receive 2 bonus points for reaching the Top 16 stage of the EuroCup, 2 bonus points for reaching the last 8 stage, one bonus point for reaching the last 4 stage, and 1 bonus point for reaching the Finals. ^[2]

In case of a tie, the club with more wins in the last three seasons will rank higher. Should a tie persist, the ranking in the last EuroLeague or EuroCup season will determine the positions.

Minimum points ranking

Minimum points ranking is a method for calculating points for every country association participated in Euroleague and Eurocup competitions in the last three-year period. It represents results of the worst-performing team from each country/league that will be added together every year to create a position for that country/league. This is the lowest possible position that any club from that country/league can occupy in the draw. Main purpose is to rank teams (that haven't participated in the last three-year period) for the Eurocup draw. ^[4]
