Format

The top eight teams of the 2022–23 Basketball Bundesliga received a bye and move on to the round of 16. The teams that placed ninth to 16th were seeded and the two relegated teams, together with the top six-placed teams from the ProA from the previous season, were unseeded for the draw. The team from the unseeded group had home-advantage. After that an open draw was used for the other rounds.[3]
