Universo/Vitória moved from Salvador, to the capital Brasília, after the end of the previous season. Universo/Vitória, despite being located in the same city, playing in the same arena, and having the same investors, is not the same Brasília team that won the NBB championship three times in the past. That franchise ended after the 2016–17 NBB season.{{Cite web |url=https://lnb.com.br/equipes/universo-caixa-brasilia/ |title=Brasília – Liga Nacional de Basquete |access-date=2018-10-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181014010152/http://lnb.com.br/equipes/universo-caixa-brasilia/ |archive-date=2018-10-14 |url-status=dead }}
