The 2012/13 Euroleague draw has placed Real Madrid in Group A with Panathinaikos, Khimki, Fenerbahce, Olimpija Ljubljana and the winner of the qualifying round, to be held in Cantu between 25 and 28 September. Unics Kazan, Pallacanestro Cantu, Donetsk BC, Le Mans, CEZ Nymburk, Telnet Oostende, Ratiopharm ULM and Lukoil Academic Sofia will all fight for the remaining spot in Group A.
Some changes have been made to this new edition of the Euroleague. The Top 16 will now have two groups of eight teams. The four top seeders in each will reach the playoffs, from which the four teams of the 2013 London Final Four will be decided.
