Niners Chemnitz came into the finals with a 14–2 record in the 2023–24 FIBA Europe Cup season and defeated Zaragoza by 50 points in the quarter-finals, before shocking Bilbao Basket in the semi-finals as well. They were having a successful season in the 2023–24 Basketball Bundesliga as well, sitting in second place with a 22–5 record.[2] Chemnitz was the second German team to play in a Europe Cup final, following the Fraport Skyliners in 2016.

Bahçeşehir Koleji had a 13–3 record in the Europe Cup, and had a 10–16 record in the 2023–24 Basketbol Süper Ligi heading into the finals.[2] They had the chance to become the first team in competition history to win the Europe Cup twice.[3]
