Eurocup Women

EuroCup Women, organized by FIBA Europe, is the second-tier European club competition in women’s basketball. It sits below the EuroLeague Women and acts as a development platform for clubs and players, inviting teams from multiple countries to compete and grow together. The format combines a group-stage phase with round-robin play, followed by knockout rounds that culminate in a final. This structure gives rising clubs a clear pathway to success and provides players with valuable exposure to diverse European styles. The competition has a history of broad participation, featuring clubs from across the continent and helping to develop homegrown talent that can move up to the EuroLeague Women or national teams. The season runs within the traditional European basketball calendar: group games in the autumn, with knockout rounds in the spring. Venues rotate across member countries, adding to the tournament’s regional appeal. Notable teams and players have passed through EuroCup Women, using it as a proving ground before stepping up to the EuroLeague Women or other top competitions. Fans follow because the games combine high-level competition with the excitement of discovery, offering suspenseful matchups and a platform for emerging stars to shine on the continental stage.
