The meeting of the Board of Directors her Euroleague Basketball has released another news, following the extension given, on the home vote that will host the Final Four of the 2025-2026 season, as well as the expected tightening of the disciplinary framework, especially in terms of the behavior of the teams.
For the first time, EuroLeague will make a podial in the new season with a “devil week”, from September 30 to October 3 (transferred from the end of November).
Recall that the teams involved in the Euroleague of the new season increased (from 18 to 20), so a solution had to be found to fit the extra matches in the calendar and the decision made was the first week of the season to include a double racing which means the teams are coming straight.
This was because Euroleague wanted to release the dates for the two national teams in the November “window” (a goodwill move to have an open channel of communication with FIBA).
