The 2014–15 Turkish Airlines Euroleague was the 15th season of the modern era of Euroleague Basketball and the fifth under the title sponsorship of the Turkish Airlines. Including the competition's previous iteration as the FIBA Europe Champions Cup, this was the 58th season of the premier competition for European men's clubs.

The city of Madrid hosted the Final Four from May 15 to 17, 2015.[1]

Allocation

There are three routes to participation in the Euroleague:

  • The 12 teams with an A-Licence from the 2013–14 Euroleague based on their Euroleague Club Ranking.[2]
  • The 2013–14 Eurocup winner is given a C-Licence.
  • The rest of the teams places will be allocated from a list of 28 teams given a B-Licence ranked according to their European national basketball league rankings over the last year. 13 teams were given both an A-Licence or C-Licence and a B-Licence. When a country ranking spot has already been assigned to an A-Licence team, the assignation will jump to the next country appearing in the ranking, and their league is not granted an additional place in the competition. At least the first 9 of the remaining 16 teams were given places in the regular-season, and the next 6 were given places in the qualifying competition.
  • If the Eurocup champion is qualified by receiving a B licence or some team with it resigns to the competition, a wild card must be given by the Euroleague.

The Euroleague has the right to cancel an A licence for one of the following reasons:[3]

  • The club has the lowest ranking of all clubs with an A Licence according to the Club Ranking.
  • The club has ranked among the clubs placed in the bottom half of the national championship final standings.
  • The club has financial problems.
  • In Spanish League, when the champion and/or the runner-up of the league are teams without an A licence. In this case, the A licence club with the lowest position will play Eurocup in the next season. If this happens three times in five years, the A licence of the club would be cancelled.

  • Montepaschi Siena will not play Euroleague due to a financial trouble.[6]
