FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship, previously known as European Championship for Men 'Under22 and Under', is a basketball competition inaugurated in 1992. Until 2004 it was held biannually, but from 2004 onwards it is held every year. The current champions are Spain.

Since 2005, a second level Championship is played. It's called Division B, and the champions and runners-up are promoted to next year's Division A Championship. This way, the two bottom teams in Division A Championship are relegated to next year's Division B Championship.
