The 2024–25 East Asia Super League is the third regular season of the East Asia Super League, an international basketball club competition involving teams from Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, South Korea, Philippines and Taiwan.[1] [2]
Five cities outside the Philippines have signified interest to host the Final Four segment of the 2024–25 EASL.[2]
Like the previous season, the 2024–25 East Asia Super League will have eight teams.[1] If precedent would serve as basis for the team allocation, the finalist of the Taiwan's (Chinese Taipei) P. League+, Japan's B.League and South Korea's Korean Basketball League are expected to qualify and take part for the 2024–25 season alongside two teams from the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).[3]
The allocation process for Philippine teams was not immediately known since the PBA has two conferences or tournaments for its 2023–24 season.[3] The PBA decided to send the champions of those two conferences.[4]
On 14 August 2024, a team each from Hong Kong and Macau were announced as expansion teams.[5]

The result of the draw for the group stage of the 2024–25 season was announced in April 2024 at the time when only the Korean Basketball League qualifying teams are already known; but the champions and runner-up Korean teams are still to be determined. For the placeholder teams team 1 would be the champions, and team 2 would be the runners-up.[12] For the Philippines' case it was the PBA Commissioner's Cup champions which was designated as Team 1 and the PBA Philippine Cup champions as Team 2.[4]
The Hong Kong and Macau team were belatedly added to Group A and Group B respectively.[13]
