The 2015–16 FIBA Europe Cup was the inaugural season of the newly formed basketball competition organised by FIBA. The season started on 21 October 2015 and ended on 1 May 2016.
The competition replaced the EuroChallenge and had the aim to take the place of Eurocup (organised by Euroleague Basketball), as the second-tier competition in Europe.
In the Regular season, 56 teams are divided into 14 groups of four teams. In the Round of 32, the first and second best teams from the Regular season play in groups of four. Starting from the Round of 16, quarter-finals will be played. The tournament will conclude with a Final Four.
The deadline to register in the competition was on July 30. The official list of teams was announced on August 3.
Numbers in bracket represent the place the team took in its 2014–15 domestic championship, representing rankings after eventual Playoffs.
The draw was held on August 4, 2015 in Munich, Germany. The seeding was prepared on the basis of the clubs' participation and results in European Club Competition in recent years as well as the clubs' ranking in their respective domestic leagues last season.
The regular season was played between 21 October and 2 December 2015. The top two teams of each group and the four best third-placed teams of all groups (two teams from each Conference) advanced to the Round of 32.
If teams in the same group finished tied on points at the end of the Regular Season, tiebreakers were applied in the following order:
The round of 32 were played between 16 December 2015 and 3 February 2016. The two top teams of each group advanced to the Round of 16.

Game 1 will be played on February 17. Game 2 will be played on February 24. Game 3, if necessary, will be played on March 2.
The eight winners of each series will qualify for the quarterfinals, while the other eight teams will be eliminated.
Game 1 will be played on March 16. Game 2 will be played on March 23. Game 3 will be played, if necessary, on March 30. Teams with better record in the Round of 32 had the home advantage.
