The EuroLeague is a super exciting European basketball competition for men's clubs. Many people think it's the best basketball league in Europe! It has 18 teams. Most of these teams (16 of them) have special long-term agreements to play. This makes the league a bit like a "semi-closed" club.
The league first started way back in 1958. It was organized by an organization called FIBA then. Later, in 2000, a new group called ULEB took over. Now, Euroleague Basketball runs the show all by itself. Since 2010, Turkish Airlines has been the main sponsor.
The EuroLeague is one of the most popular indoor sports leagues in the world. In the 2023–24 season, about 10,383 fans came to watch each game! This was the fifth-highest attendance for any indoor sports league globally. It was also the second-highest for any professional basketball league, right after the National Basketball Association (NBA) in the USA.
So far, 22 different clubs have won the EuroLeague title. A total of 14 clubs have won it more than once. The team with the most wins is Real Madrid, with an amazing 11 titles!

History of the EuroLeague
The EuroLeague has a long and interesting history. It started as the FIBA European Champions Cup in 1958. This competition was run by FIBA until the year 2000.
New Beginnings
In the summer of 2000, Euroleague Basketball was created. They started their own competition, also called the Euroleague. For one season (2000–2001), there were actually two top European basketball leagues! Some big clubs like Panathinaikos and Maccabi Tel Aviv stayed with FIBA's league (which was renamed the FIBA SuproLeague). Other teams, like Olympiacos and Real Madrid, joined the new Euroleague.
In May 2001, both leagues had a champion. Everyone realized it would be better to have just one big competition. So, Euroleague Basketball and FIBA agreed to combine. From then on, Euroleague Basketball took charge of the main European club competitions. FIBA focused on national team tournaments, like the FIBA World Cup.
League Changes and Sponsorship
In 2015, Euroleague Basketball teamed up with a company called IMG. They made a 10-year deal to manage the league's business side. This deal was worth a lot of money! With this new partnership, the EuroLeague changed its format. It became a "true league" system. This meant 16 teams would play each other in a regular season.
Since July 2010, Turkish Airlines has been the main sponsor of the EuroLeague. They signed a big deal to have their name in the league's title. This partnership has been extended multiple times.
Names of the Competition Over Time
The EuroLeague has had a few different names throughout its history:
- FIBA Era: (1958–2001)
- FIBA European Champions Cup: (1958–1991)
- FIBA European League: (1991–1996)
- FIBA EuroLeague: (1996–2000)
- FIBA SuproLeague: (2000–2001)
- Euroleague Basketball Era: (2000–Present)
- Euroleague: (2000–2016)
- EuroLeague: (2016–Present)
- Remember, in the 2000–01 season, there were two separate competitions: the SuproLeague (by FIBA) and the Euroleague (by Euroleague Basketball).
How the EuroLeague Works
The EuroLeague has changed its competition style over the years.
Old Tournament Style
From 1958 until the 2015–16 season, the EuroLeague used a tournament system. Teams would play in knockout rounds. The competition would end with either a single final game or a "Final Four" event. In a Final Four, the last four teams play semi-finals and then a championship game.
New League System

Starting with the 2016–17 season, the EuroLeague switched to a league format. This is how it works now:
- 18 teams play in the league.
- Each team plays every other team twice. They play one game at home and one game away. This means each team plays a total of 34 games in the regular season.
- The top eight teams after the regular season move on to the playoffs.
- In the playoffs, teams play a "best of five" series. The team that wins three games first moves on.
- The four winners from the playoffs go to the Final Four. This exciting event happens at a special location.
- At the Final Four, there are two semi-final games, a game for third place, and the big championship game. All these games happen on the same weekend!
- A team can play a maximum of 41 games in a season. That's 34 in the regular season, up to 5 in the playoffs, and 2 in the Final Four.
How Teams Qualify
Most of the 18 EuroLeague spots (12 of them) are held by "licensed clubs." These clubs have long-term agreements with Euroleague Basketball. They are like permanent members of the league.
Here are the 12 licensed clubs:

The other six spots are for "associated clubs." These clubs get yearly licenses. Some get a special "wild card" invitation for one or two years. Two spots go to the finalists from the previous season's EuroCup, which is Europe's second-tier basketball competition.
