MIES (Switzerland) - BasketNews and the Basketball Champions League, powered by Ameresco SUNEL have officially partnered to launch the BCL Fantasy League, bringing the thrill of the tournament straight to fans worldwide.
Hosted exclusively on BasketNews, the new Fantasy platform lets basketball enthusiasts test their management skills on a global stage.
Fans can build dream teams, climb leaderboards, and compete for incredible rewards - including monthly prizes and a grand prize: trip to the BCL Final Four with full accommodation.
"We are pleased to collaborate with BasketNews to launch the official Basketball Champions League Fantasy League," said Benjamin Gauthier, Chief Marketing Officer of the Basketball Champions League, continuing:
"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."
"At BasketNews, our vision is to provide fans with a complete basketball experience," commented Vilius Jastremskas, Chief Marketing Officer at BasketNews.
"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."
Two Ways to Play
To keep the competition fierce and dynamic, the game features two distinct game modes:
Classic (Budget) Mode: Build a winning roster while sticking to a strict budget, navigating player market values, injuries, and hot streaks. Managers can also use strategic wildcards to gain an edge over the competition.
Draft Mode: Set up private leagues with friends and take turns picking players. Since each BCL star can only be selected once per league, every draft pick matters.
