2020–21 ABA League Second Division


The 2020–21 ABA League Second Division will be the 4th season of the ABA Second Division with 14 teams from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia participating in it. The season will start on 23 September 2020.
The season is the first to be played after the previous season was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Teams

A total of 14 teams will contest the league, including two representatives from all six ABA League countries. In cases where a club from an individual country does not apply for the 2020–21 season, the empty spot will be filled by awarding wild cards. The first two teams from the previous season, Borac Čačak and Split, were awarded wild cards to compete in the 2020–21 ABA League First Division. On 29 June 2020, the ABA League Assembly confirmed the final list of the 2020–21 season participants.

Team allocation

The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:
In early June 2020, seven clubs contested for four wild cards. Later that month, Serbian club Novi Pazar withdrew its bid following failure to meet financial requirements. On 29 June, the ABA League Assembly announced four wild cards recipients, including Sloboda Tuzla, Studentski centar, Podgorica Bemax and Mladost. Teams Borac Banja Luka and Gostivar did not receive the wild card.
