FC Porto will face Bnei Penlink Herzliya (Israel), Asisa Joventut (Spain) and Telekom Baskets Bonn (Germany) in Group H of the Basketball Champions League, following the draw held this Wednesday at the Patrick Baumann House of Basketball, FIBA’s headquarters in Mies, Switzerland.

To reach the group stage of this competition for the first time in their history, FC Porto ended a ten-year drought by winning the National Championship in 2025/26, after beating Benfica 3-1 in the final of the Portuguese Basketball League Playoffs, played in a best-of-five format.

The regular season of the Basketball Champions League, scheduled to start on 6 October, features eight groups of four teams, with the winners of each group securing direct qualification for the round of 16. The second- and third-placed teams in each group will contest a best-of-three Play-In, and the eight winners of each series will complete the round of 16 lineup.
