Once the 18 rounds of the BKT EuroCup regular season have been completed, everything is now set for the decisive phase.
All the teams know the path that awaits them on the road to the title, after Cluj-Napoca became the last team to secure its spot in the playoffs.
As usual, the top two teams in each group advance directly to the quarterfinals, while teams ranked third through sixth will meet in the single-game eighthfinals on March 10 and 11. The quarterfinals, also one-game winner-takes-all affairs, will take place one week later on March 17 and 18.
The EuroCup Semifinals will be played as a best-of-three series between March 31 and April 8, and the 2025-26 EuroCup champion will be crowned after the three-game finals slated for April 22, April 28 and May 1.
As expected, the final round was dramatic and ultimately determined the matchups, which are as follows:
