The 2021-22 7DAYS EuroCup brings clubs from 13 different countries. The Spanish League boasts four representatives, followed by Italy with three. Three former champions head the lineup of teams: Valencia Basket is a four-time winner, Joventut Badalona lifted the trophy in 2008 and Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar in 2013.

Despite a new look and format that will feature 20 teams, the EuroCup will have a familiar feel. Six of the eight quarterfinalists from last season return; the only teams not back are the two finalists, which will instead compete in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. In total, 16 teams remain from last season. They will be joined by Valencia; Polish club Slask Wroclaw, which will play in the competition for the first time since 2007-08; another returnee, Turk Telekom Ankara, back for a sixth EuroCup season; and newcomer Hamburg Towers from Germany.
