The Belgian Basketball Cup – named The Base Cup for sponsorship reasons – is the top tier national basketball cup competition in Belgium.

History

In 2013, the cup got a new name in The Base Cup, referring to the new main sponsor Base. The mobile telephony provider signed a sponsorship contract for 3 years. This led to, in the 2013–14 season, the first time a Final Four was held instead of semifinals with two legs since 2003.^[1]
