The Euroleague is Europe's premier professional basketball league, featuring teams from across the continent.

Beginning with the 2025-2026 season, the EuroLeague will expand from 18 to 20 teams from various countries.
The regular season of the EuroLeague will still follows a round-robin format, with teams playing each other twice for a total of 38 games. These games are spread out over several months, typically from October to April. The teams face each other both home and away, providing a balanced schedule that tests their skills against a diverse range of opponents.
The 2025-2026 season will run between September 30, 2025, and April 17, 2026.
The top six teams from the regular season advance to the Euroleague playoffs, while the seventh-to-10th-ranked teams contest a play-in tournament to determine the final two playoff slots.

EuroLeague 2025-2026 favorites: Top teams to watch
The 2025–26 EuroLeague season is shaping up to be one for the ages, with several clubs making bold offseason moves to position themselves for a title run. As the league expands, a clear group of frontrunners has emerged. For bettors and fans alike, these are the teams that will define the narrative in the race to capture the EuroLeague title.
Panathinaikos AKTOR
Panathinaikos recharged its momentum by returning to the 2025 Final Four and bolstering the roster with key additions like T.J. Shorts and Richaun Holmes. Under renewed leadership, they look ready to attack the 2025–26 season with confidence. While OAKA has long been regarded as a difficult venue for visiting teams, it's uncertain how that will translate this season.
Olympiacos
Olympiacos reached its fourth straight Final Four in 2025 and secured its 15th Greek League title, reinforcing its status as a perennial contender. With institutional stability and depth, they enter 2025–26 well-positioned for another deep run.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid enters the 2025–26 EuroLeague with added firepower, notably securing guard Theo Maledon from ASVEL. Their opening matchup against Virtus Bologna signals a competitive schedule ahead. While exact roster depth beyond Maledon remains uncertain, Madrid's pedigree keeps them among the favorites.
Fenerbahçe Beko
Fenerbahçe enters 2025–26 with continuity at the helm under coach Šarūnas Jasikevičius and key offseason additions like Brandon Boston and Mikael Jantunen, while retaining anchor Khem Birch. These moves reinforce their depth and balance on both ends. With momentum from the previous season, they're primed for another title push.
AS Monaco
AS Monaco broke through with their second-ever Final Four berth in 2025, earning their spot with tough wins over Olympiacos, Barcelona, and Panathinaikos. Their elite guard-led, high-tempo offense has proved it can challenge any team when in rhythm. If they stay consistent, Monaco could shake up the playoff picture.
