The Syrian Basketball Super Cup (Arabic: كأس السوبر السوري لكرة السلة) is the top-tier level national domestic basketball super cup competition, that is played between professional clubs in Syria.[1] It was founded in 2021 as a new super cup composed of the best Syrian clubs.[2] In 2022, two clubs from the Lebanese Basketball League joined the Super Cup.[3]

Format

According to the current format of the competition, the four best ranked teams from the previous season of the Syrian Basketball League, together with the winner of the Syrian Cup, will automatically qualify.[4] In 2022, the Syrian Basketball Federation agreed with the Lebanese Basketball Federation that in the 2022-23 season, 2 clubs from the Lebanese Basketball League will also start in the competition.

In the first round, the teams play one match each, and the two best advance to the finals.[1] The final is played in one match.[5] The competition takes place every year in October.
