The NBA and FIBA are joining forces to create a new 16-team European league, aiming to elevate basketball’s presence on the continent and capitalize on growing global interest.
The proposed league will feature 12 permanent clubs and four annual qualifiers, with 40-minute games and a salary cap. Backed by unanimous FIBA board approval, it promises major investment and restructuring to rival EuroLeague’s dominance.
