Allocation
There were three routes to participation in the Euroleague:
The Euroleague had the right to cancel an A licence for one of the following reasons:
A licences
Classification after the 2013–14 Euroleague, including also the 2011–12 and the 2012–13 seasons.
B licences
B licences could be given to every team without an A licence. If in the allocation appeared a team with A licence, the next team in the criteria would receive the B licence, which qualified directly to the Regular Season.
