Basketball Champions League Asia – East (BCL Asia–East) is a qualification tournament for the Basketball Champions League Asia. It is participated by club teams from the East Asia (EABA) and Southeast Asia (SEABA) sub-zones of FIBA Asia.
History
Basketball Champions League Asia, the tournament for club teams in FIBA Asia, was previously known as the FIBA Asia Champions Cup. It adopted its current branding in 2024. A non-branded qualification tournament (qualifying rounds) was held to determine additional two teams from East Asia and Southeast Asia to qualify for the inaugural 2024 tournament.[1][2]
For the 2025 edition, the qualification tournament held on the same year was branded as Basketball Champions League Asia – East.[3] On top of the two teams qualifying for the championship proper, the finals winner were crowned BCL Asia–East champions. This distinction went to the Ulaanbaatar Xac Broncos of Mongolia.[4]
