## Background
### San Pablo Burgos

Five years before, in August 2015, the professional section of CB Miraflores had been established. In 2017, Burgos made its debut in the Liga ACB, the highest Spanish league. In the 2019–20 ACB season, which was played out earlier that year, Burgos reached the semi-finals of the playoffs.

### AEK

For AEK, this was the second time it appeared in a final of the Basketball Champions League, having won the 2018 title. It was also the second time AEK hosted the Final Four/Eight tournament at the O.A.C.A. Olympic Indoor Hall.
Keith Langford, the team's leading scorer, was named Most Valuable Player of the competition. AEK also had Tyrese Rice, the MVP of the previous 2018–19 season, on its roster.

## Venue
