Qualification edit

Further information: 2024 Basketball Champions League Asia qualifying rounds

The champions of China's Chinese Basketball Association, Japan's B. League, and South Korea's Korean Basketball League qualify directly.[4] The Philippines' Philippine Basketball Association has opted out of this tournament due to a busy 2023 schedule which saw the country co-host the FIBA Basketball World Cup.[5] The league did commit to send a team for the next season.[6] The Philippines' slot in the tournament was replaced by Shabab Al Ahly as tournament hosts.[7]

Two additional teams will qualify through a two-round qualification tournament for East and Southeast Asia, while a further two will be determined through the 2023–24 FIBA West Asia Super League.[8]

The first round of the qualification will take place in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from 3 to 7 April.[9] The second round will take place from 23 to 26 April in Jakarta, Indonesia.[10]

The following teams qualified to the main tournament.[1] Years in bold denote the team won the competition.
