Swiss side Fribourg will compete in the Quarter-Finals for the first time in their fourth season, alongside FIBA Europe Cup debutants Dijon, MHP RIESEN, PAOK and Tofas.
Meanwhile, Cholet were runners-up in the 2023 Finals, with Bilbao reaching the last four stage last season and Zaragoza now making it back-to-back Quarter-Final appearances.
Each round of the Play-Offs will be played across two legs, with the winners of the group winners earning home advantage for the second leg in the Quarter-Finals.
The ties are scheduled to be played on March 5 and 12 with the exact dates and times to be confirmed.
