The 2025-26 BKT EuroCup Eighthfinals are officially set, with all four knockout matchups taking place on Wednesday, March 11. While the games were projected to be split between Tuesday and Wednesday, Euroleague Basketball confirmed Friday that all four high-stakes fixtures will now share a single date.
Following the Eighthfinals, the bracket path becomes clear. The winner of the Cedevita Olimpija versus Niners Chemnitz matchup will advance to face JL Bourg. Similarly, the winner of the Turk Telekom versus BAXI Manresa clash will take on Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem, while Buducnost VOLI or U-BT Cluj-Napoca will move on to challenge Bahcesehir Koleji. Finally, either Umana Reyer Venice or Dolomiti Energia Trento will advance to face Besiktas Gain.
Following an intense 18-game Regular Season across two groups of ten from the top of the 2025-26 installment of the second-tier Euroleague Basketball competition, the Quarterfinals, like the opening knockout stage, will follow a single-elimination format. These four pivotal fixtures are scheduled for Tuesday, March 17, or Wednesday, March 18.
The four advancing teams will then transition into a best-of-three Semifinal series, scheduled to tip off on Tuesday, March 31, and conclude no later than Wednesday, April 8. This culminates in the best-of-three Finals, beginning Wednesday, April 22, with a deciding Game 3, if necessary, set for Friday, May 1.
The higher-placed regular-season team will maintain home-court advantage in every pairing throughout the postseason.
Furthermore, the two finalists may secure a ticket to the 2026-27 EuroLeague, depending on the performance of recently promoted sides in this season’s top flight.
