2024–25 EuroLeague


The 2024–25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague was the 25th season of the modern era of the EuroLeague, and the 15th under the title sponsorship of Turkish Airlines. Including the competition's previous incarnation as the FIBA Europe Champions Cup, this is the 68th season of the premier basketball competition for European men's clubs. The season began on 3 October 2024 and ended on 25 May 2025 with the Final Four. The Final Four was hosted by Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, which marks the first time in European basketball history that the game is played outside of the continent in 21 years, after the 2004 Final Four in Tel Aviv, Israel.
For the fourth straight season, CSKA Moscow had their EuroLeague license rescinded following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, for the second consecutive season due to the war in Gaza, Maccabi Tel Aviv played abroad during the season, principally at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall in Belgrade; the majority of games were played behind closed doors.
This will be the second straight season under the new format with the play-in tournament for seventh- to tenth-placed teams in the regular season.
Panathinaikos are the defending champions, but were eliminated in the semi-finals by Fenerbahçe in the semifinal. Fenerbahçe went on to win its first title in 8 years, after beating first-time finalists Monaco in the championship game.
