The 2025–26 EuroCup Women is the 55th edition of FIBA Europe's second-tier international competition for European women's basketball clubs, and the 24th season since it was renamed from the Ronchetti Cup to the EuroCup Women. The season begins on 18 September 2025 and ended on 9 April 2026 with the Final.

The winners of the EuroCup Women qualify for the 2025 SuperCup and automatically qualify for next season's edition of this tournament, unless they participate in the EuroLeague Women instead.

ESB Villeneuve-d'Ascq are the defending champions, having won their second title last season.

Format

[edit]
  • Regular season

After the qualifiers, 48 teams are divided into 12 groups of 4. The groups are held in a double home and away format. The top 2 plus the 4 best third place teams advancing to the knockout stage.

  • Knockout stage

In the knockout stage, the 28 teams, plus the 4 who dropped down from the Euroleague Women, are seeded based on their results in the regular season. Each tie in the knockout stage is played in a home and away format, where the winner on aggregate wins the tie and advances to the next round.[1]

Rankings

[edit]

The results are based on the results of the past three seasons.

  • Associations 1–5 can register five teams.
  • Associations 6–10 can register four teams.
  • Associations below the top 10 can register three teams.[2]

Apart from the distribution based on the rankings, countries could have additional teams participating in the EuroCup Women, as noted below:

  • (EL) – Additional teams dropping down from the EuroLeague Women


Teams

[edit]

The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:

  • TH EL: EuroLeague Women title holders
  • TH EC: EuroCup Women title holders
  • 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.: League position of the previous season
  • RS: Regular season winners
  • CW: Cup winners
  • CR: Cup runners-up

The teams with the S in the qualification round means they were seeded. Teams with EL took part in the EuroLeague Women Qualification round or the regular season.

The teams were announced on 8 July 2025, with a total of 49 clubs registering for the competition.[4] Starting this season, the winners of the previous season can take part, regardless of their performance in their domestic league.[5]

On 15 July 2025, ASVEL Féminin withdrew due to financial reasons. As a result, Baxi Ferrol were given a direct place in the group stage and SBŠ Ostrava were awarded seeded status in the qualification round.[6]
