EuroLeague 2026-2027 season commencement

Overview

The 2026-2027 EuroLeague basketball season has officially commenced, featuring 20 teams competing in a 38-game regular season format. The competition structure utilizes a play-in phase for teams finishing 7th through 10th and playoffs to determine the finalists for the Final Four.

In the opening round, Panathinaikos AKTOR secured a decisive 91-72 victory against Paris at the Telekom Center. This win marked a successful debut for head coach Zeljko Obradovic, who returned to the bench after 13 years despite significant roster challenges and injuries to key players like Kendrick Nunn and Kostas Sloukas.

Another major early result saw Dubai Basketball achieve a significant upset by defeating Real Madrid 78-77 in a closely contested match. Real Madrid coach Pedro Martínez has previously noted the difficulty of maintaining high intensity throughout the expanded schedule.

Greek clubs entered the season with high expectations, with EuroLeague General Managers voting Panathinaikos AKTOR as the title favorite and Olympiacos as a strong candidate to reach the Final Four. Other league developments include increased Turkish representation with Beşiktaş joining Anadolu Efes and Fenerbahçe Tarfin.
