Teams

Allocation

The 2025–26 East Asia Super League will feature twelve teams, up from ten in the previous season.

Taiwan's (Chinese Taipei) P. League+ (PLG), Japan's B.League and South Korea's Korean Basketball League (KBL) each have two slots allocated for the finalists of their respective leagues. On 13 May 2025, a third slot was given to the B.League, allocated for the champion of the Emperor's Cup.^[2] On 24 July, the league also gave Chinese Taipei a third slot, which was given to the New Taipei Kings, champions of the Taiwan Professional Basketball League (TPBL).^[3]

The Philippines' Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) was allocated one slot, down from two in previous seasons. This is due to the PBA assessment that sending two teams would be difficult considering its busy schedule for the 2025–26 season.^[4] The allocation process for the lone Philippine representative was to be confirmed since the PBA has multiple conferences or tournaments for its 2024–25 season.^[5] Champions TNT Tropang Giga and San Miguel Beermen opted out from participating.^[6] On 30 July, the PBA announced that the Meralco Bolts will be the representative for the Philippines, a decision determined through a vote.^[7][8][9]

On 24 January 2025, the EASL announced that Mongolia's The League will be represented in the league for the first time. The League is given one slot for the league champions.^[10][11]

Continuing from the previous season, Macau and Hong Kong will each have one team joining the EASL.^[12][13] Hong Kong Eastern in particular are contracted to participate regardless of placing in the domestic league.^[14] The Macau Black Bears will also return.^[15]

Notes

1. Taiwan, officially Republic of China. The organizers of the EASL^[16] and FIBA uses the designation of "Chinese Taipei".
2. As the 2025 Emperor's Cup champion Ryukyu Golden Kings qualified by reaching the 2025 B.League Finals, the slot reserved for the Emperor's Cup champion was transferred to the Emperor's Cup runner-up.
3. The champions of the 2024–25 PBA season, TNT Tropang Giga (2024 Governors' Cup, 2024–25 Commissioner's Cup) and the San Miguel Beermen (2025 Philippine Cup) opted out. Instead the Meralco Bolts was voted to represent the PBA in the EASL.^[6]
