2025 EuroLeague Playoffs


The 2025 EuroLeague Playoffs, known as the 2025 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs for sponsorship purposes, was the second postseason portion of the 2024–25 EuroLeague basketball competition. They began on 15 April 2024, with the Play-in games, and ended on 6 May 2025. The top six finishers in the regular season qualified for the playoffs directly, while the teams placed from seventh to tenth will battle for the remaining two seeds in a play-in tournament. The playoffs consist of four series of two teams each, to be played in a best-of-five format. The winners of each of the playoffs series advanced to the Final Four, which will determine the EuroLeague champion for the 2024–25 season.

Qualified teams

Tiebreakers

When more than two teams are tied, the ranking will be established taking into account the victories obtained in the games played only among them. Should the tie persist among some, but not all, of the teams, the ranking of the teams still tied will be determined by again taking into account the victories in the games played only among them, and repeating this same procedure until the tie is entirely resolved.
If a tie persists, the ranking will be determined by the goal difference in favour and against in the games played only among the teams still tied.

Play-in


Under the new format, the 7th to 10th-ranked teams faced each other in the play-in. Each game is hosted by the team with the higher regular season record. The format was similar to the first two rounds of the Page–McIntyre system for a four-team playoff that was identical to that of the NBA play-in tournament. First, the 7th seed will host the 8th seed, with the winner advancing to the playoffs as the 7th seed; likewise the 9th seed will host the 10th seed, with the loser eliminated. Then the loser of the 7-v-8 game will host the winner of the 9-v-10 game, with the winner of that game getting the final playoff spot, as the 8th seed.

Playoff series

Playoff series are best-of-five. The first team to win three games wins the series. A 2–2–1 format is used – teams with home-court advantage played games 1, 2, and 5 at home, while their opponents will host games 3 and 4. Games 4 and 5 will only be played if necessary. The four winning teams advance to the Final Four.
