The FIBA Europe Cup (FEC)[1] is an annual professional club basketball competition organised by FIBA for eligible European clubs. It is FIBA's second level competition. Clubs mainly qualify based on their performance in national leagues and cup competitions, although this is not the sole deciding factor.
The league was founded in 2015 as a replacement of the FIBA EuroChallenge.
