Competition format
editOriginally eight teams joined the competition, but Prishtina 2019 withdrew its participation in January due to the commitment in the FIBA Europe Cup.[2]
The remaining seven teams play a round robin tournament where each team faced the others in home and away games. The top four teams qualify directly for the Final Four.[3]
