2025 EuroCup Basketball Playoffs
The 2025 EuroCup Basketball Playoffs will begin on 4 March with the eighthfinals and will end on 16 April 2025 with the Finals to decide the champions of the 2024–25 EuroCup Basketball. A total of 12 teams from eight countries will competed in the playoffs.
Times are CET/CEST,[a] as listed by Euroleague Basketball (local times, if different, are in parentheses).
Format
[edit]In the playoffs, teams will play against each other in a knockout tournament into four rounds from eighthfinals to finals. At the end of the regular season, the six teams from each group with the most wins qualified for the playoffs. The two top teams from each regular season group receive a bye and qualify directly to the quarterfinals. The remaining eight qualified teams will enter the eighthfinals to compete in a single-game format in which the third-placed teams of each group will face off against the sixth-placed teams of the opposite groups and the fourth-placed teams of each group will face off against the fifth-placed teams of the opposite groups. The four winning teams from eighthfinals will enter the quarterfinals to face off in a single-game format in the home of the two top teams from each regular season group. The higher-placed regular season team in each matchup will enjoy home court advantage in eighthfinals and quarterfinals. From semifinals onwards, teams will play in best-of-three series with the first leg and third leg, if necessary, in the home court of the higher-placed regular season team to crown the EuroCup champion.[1][2]
