Format changes

The 2025–26 season introduced significant changes to the competition format:

• The qualification process for the Final Eight was expanded from six to seven WASL teams, with the addition of one SABA Club Championship champion to complete an eight-team field.
• The West Asia League underwent a major restructure, changing from a double round-robin format to a single group with five teams (reduced from six after Al Difaa Al Jawi's withdrawal). The top four teams advance to the semi-finals, with the no. 1 seed facing the no. 4 seed and nos. 2 and 3 comprising the other bracket.
• The fourth-placed teams from both sub-zone leagues will compete in a play-off for the seventh Final Eight qualification spot.
• BC Astana from Kazakhstan joined the West Asia League as representatives of the Central Asia Basketball Association (CABA).

Teams

The participating teams were officially confirmed by FIBA on 15 September 2025, with the draw taking place on 18 September 2025.
