FIBA Champions League betting

The FIBA Basketball Champions League is an annual competition that has existed since 2016. It is played between teams that don't play in the Euroleague or Eurocup. You can place your bets on Euroleague basketball with bwin.

FIBA is trying to regain control of European basketball, and there is more and more talk of a European version of the American NBA. It is very likely that, in the next few years, we will see many more franchises in Europe, and without a doubt, the Champions League will be one of the best basketball competitions to watch and bet on this year. On our online sports betting platform, you can place bets on the NBA, which remains the most important basketball competition.

Betting on the FIBA Champions League basketball

About thirty teams advance directly to the regular season based on sports performance. In order not to disrupt team schedules, Champions League games are played on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Following the preliminary round, 32 teams play a group stage until the end of December. The top team in each group advances to the round of 16, while the second and third teams take part in a playoff.

The top sixteen teams then play a second group phase where the top two teams qualify for a playoff at the end of the season and a four-way final thereafter.

Three hundred games will be played throughout the season — plenty of opportunities to bet on basketball.

Recommended Champions League Betting

From the four games in the final, there can be only one winner, so most FIBA Champions League games are competitive. From the playoff games to the finals, every team wants to advance, making the competition balanced and thrilling in all aspects. We recommend betting on close games.

Point handicaps are a good deal. Those backing the favourite will not only need their team to win, but they will also need them to win by enough points to cover the handicap. For example, a bet with a handicap of -7.5 points means that the favourite must win by a minimum of eight points in order to cover the handicap weighting.

The European Cup is the next tier down from the Champions League

In addition to the Champions League, there is also a FIBA European Cup which should not be confused with the EuroCup — a lower-level competition than the Champions League. It provides an imortant stepping stone for good European basketball teams.
