Besiktas participated in consecutive EuroLeague matchups in October 2026.

On October 9, Besiktas defeated Baskonia 92-84 in an away game in Vitoria. Led by Scotty Wilbekin’s 24 points and Devon Dotson’s 14 points, the Turkish team overcame a halftime deficit to improve their season record to 2-2. The victory was largely attributed to superior three-point shooting, with Besiktas converting 11 of 27 attempts compared to Baskonia’s 3 of 17.

On October 14, Besiktas faced Hapoel Tel Aviv, losing 100-82. Hapoel’s victory was driven by five players scoring in double digits, including Zach LeDay with 15 points, Elijah Bryant, and Vasilije Micic. This result brought Hapoel to a 3-2 record.

On October 16, Hapoel Tel Aviv continued their momentum by defeating Panathinaikos 91-81 at the Telekom Center in Athens, handing the Greek side its first loss of the season and moving Panathinaikos to a 5-1 record. Hapoel coach Dimitris Itoudis praised his team’s composure and ability to manage momentum. The victory was fueled by Zach LeDay with 17 points, Elijah Bryant with 14, and Daniel Oturu with 13. Vasilije Micic also contributed 9 points and 8 assists.

Panathinaikos coach Zeljko Obradovic attributed the loss to defensive lapses and a lack of concentration, noting the team allowed too many easy points. He also noted that player Dino Mitoglou, who left the game following a hit, was expected to be assessed by medical staff before the next practice. Panathinaikos struggled offensively, shooting only 5-for-21 from the three-point line. Obradovic further noted the impact of player absences, including Kostas Sloukas and Kendrick Nunn.
