EuroLeague concludes regular season and plans new tournament format

The EuroLeague is concluding its 38th and final round of the regular season, with Olympiacos aiming for a win against Armani Milano to secure the top seed and home-court advantage. Other final round matches include Fenerbahce versus ASVEL, Maccabi Tel Aviv against Virtus Bologna, and Partizan facing Baskonia. Olympiacos coach Giorgos Bartzokas stated that the team is focused on their own performance despite potential playoff scenarios. In administrative updates, EuroLeague shareholders have approved the investigation of a new preseason Super Cup tournament featuring EuroLeague and EuroCup champions, potentially starting in late September. Additionally, the Board of Directors decided to maintain the current format for the 2026-2027 season, with 20 teams and 38 rounds. Discussions regarding potential expansion to 22 teams have been postponed until at least the 2027-2028 season, while several clubs, including Hapoel Tel Aviv, Paris, and Valencia, are seeking long-term agreements.
