The FIBA EuroCup Challenge was the 4th tier level transnational professional club basketball competition in Europe. It was run and organized by FIBA Europe. The league was founded in 2002 and ceased in 2007. Each season's finalists were promoted to the next season's more prestigious 3rd tier level competition, the FIBA EuroChallenge.
The competition was played during the 2002–03 to 2006–07 seasons. It was variously known as the FIBA Europe Champions Cup (2002–03), the FIBA Europe Cup (2003–05), and the FIBA EuroCup Challenge (2005–07).
