EuroLeague Playoffs set: full quarterfinal schedule

The EuroLeague playoffs are scheduled to begin on April 28. Once the Play-In is completed, the final two playoff spots will be filled, finalizing the eight-team quarterfinal bracket.

The postseason format features best-of-5 series, with home-court advantage based strictly on regular-season standings.

Games 1, 2, and a potential Game 5 are hosted by the higher-seeded team, giving regular-season performance a direct impact on playoff control.

Games 3 and 4 shift to the lower-seeded team’s home court, creating a swing factor that often defines series momentum in EuroLeague basketball.

Olympiacos Piraeus, the No. 1 seed at 26–12, opens its quarterfinal series at home against the winner of Play-In C on April 28 at 21:00 local time (18:00 GMT).

The Greek club also hosts Game 2, before the series moves to the Play-In C winner’s venue for Games 3 and 4 in early May.

A potential Game 5 would return to Piraeus on May 12–13 if the series is tied after four games.

Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, seeded No. 4 with a 24–14 record, faces Zalgiris Kaunas in another high-intensity matchup beginning April 28 at 20:45 local time (17:45 GMT).

Both opening games are scheduled in Istanbul, with Kaunas hosting Games 3 and 4. A deciding Game 5 would return to Turkey if required.

Real Madrid, the No. 3 seed at 24–14, opens its series against Hapoel Tel Aviv on April 29 at 20:45 local time (18:45 GMT), with Game 2 set for May 1 in Madrid.

The series then moves to Hapoel’s venue for Games 3 and 4, before a potential Game 5 returns to Madrid in mid-May.

Valencia Basket, the No. 2 seed at 25–13, awaits the winner of Play-In A and begins its series on April 28 at 20:45 local time (18:45 GMT).

Valencia hosts Games 1 and 2, while the Play-In A winner hosts Games 3 and 4, with a possible Game 5 returning to Spain.

The Play-In outcome, concluding on April 24, will determine the final two teams entering the playoff bracket and complete the quarterfinal lineup.

All four winners of the best-of-5 series will advance to the EuroLeague Final Four in Athens, scheduled for May 22–24, with semifinals on May 22 and the championship game on May 24.
