A total of 16 teams from 9 countries took part in the league, including 11 sides with a long-term licence from the 2016–17 season, 1 team qualified from the EuroCup and the 4 highest-placed teams from the ABA League, the German Bundesliga, the VTB United League and Spain's ACB.
Brose Bamberg and Crvena zvezda qualified, after winning the Bundesliga and ABA League titles respectively. Galatasaray Odeabank and Darüşşafaka did not appear this season, as Galatasaray did not have any opportunity in the previous season to qualify and Darüşşafaka finished their two-year wild card. UNICS lost its place in the EuroLeague, as Khimki qualified as runner-up of the VTB United League. Unicaja qualified as the EuroCup champions, after beating Valencia Basket in the Finals. However, Valencia also qualified as the Spanish champions.
