Hosted on BasketNews, the Fantasy League allows basketball enthusiasts to create dream teams, advance on leaderboards, and win various rewards, including monthly prizes and a grand prize: a trip to the BCL Final Four with full accommodation.
Benjamin Gauthier, Chief Marketing Officer of the Basketball Champions League, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, "We are pleased to collaborate with BasketNews to launch the official Basketball Champions League Fantasy League. This initiative will give fans an engaging way to connect with their favourite clubs and players throughout the season. With its passionate basketball community, BasketNews is the ideal platform to bring this experience to life."
Vilius Jastremskas, Chief Marketing Officer at BasketNews, added, "At BasketNews, our vision is to provide fans with a complete basketball experience. Partnering with the Basketball Champions League for the official Fantasy game allows us to take that commitment further by offering our global community an interactive way to follow, compete, and engage with the tournament all season long."
The game will feature two play modes to ensure an exciting competition. The Classic (Budget) Mode allows players to build rosters within a budget, managing player values, injuries, and streaks while utilizing strategic wildcards. The Draft Mode enables users to create private leagues with friends, where they take turns selecting players, adding a layer of strategy since each BCL star can only be chosen once per league.
Fans interested in joining the league can sign up and begin building their teams at fantasy.basketnews.com.
