The One Team Games 2026 have been officially set to take place between Tuesday and Friday, specifically in Round 25 of the 2025 EuroLeague Regular Season and Round 16 of the BKT EuroCup Regular Season.
Euroleague Basketball shared additional details about the annual event on Monday.
Per the press release: “Euroleague Basketball will once again shine a spotlight on inclusion, unity and community impact in the 2026 edition of the One Team Games, taking place from January 26-30 across Round 25 of the EuroLeague and Round 16 of the BKT EuroCup.
The One Team Games are a flagship moment for the One Team program, Euroleague Basketball’s social responsibility initiative, bringing together clubs, players, fans, and communities across Europe. Building on previous years, EuroLeague and EuroCup clubs will take part, reinforcing a shared commitment to using basketball as a force for positive social change.
The theme for the 2026 edition, “The Power of a Team,” reflects the core value at the heart of the One Team program: teamwork. Throughout the season, One Team participants develop skills rooted in collaboration, respect, and belonging. During the One Team Games, that same spirit extends beyond the program, uniting fans, clubs, communities, and players through a shared passion for the game and for life.
“We are very happy to celebrate the One Team Games for another season. It is a great opportunity to showcase the impactful work we do hand in hand with our clubs through their One Team programs, to raise awareness of the issues affecting our communities, and to invite everyone to join us in the celebrations,” said Gwain Davies, Chief Commercial Officer at Euroleague Basketball. “We would like to thank our clubs, coaches, players, and partners for their tremendous efforts and solidarity throughout the year, and we are really looking forward to seeing all the participants and programs take center stage.”
To amplify the message and visibility of the One Team Games, a series of in-arena activations will take place across EuroLeague and EuroCup venues:
· #WeAreAllOneTeam stickers displayed on court
· Family photos featuring One Team Ambassadors and participants
· Participants delivering the game ball to officials (EuroCup) or placing it on the plinth (EuroLeague)
· Halftime exhibitions highlighting One Team activities
· Dedicated One Team Games LED visuals in arenas
These moments are designed to place One Team participants at the center of the game-day experience, celebrating their role within the wider basketball family.
On the digital side, to further engage fans and spread the #WeAreAllOneTeam message, Euroleague Basketball has also created a special One Team Ambassadors Memory Game. This interactive experience invites fans to flip the cards, find all the matching pairs, and race against the clock for a chance to win a special prize: a jersey of their favourite EuroLeague or EuroCup player.
Fans inside the arenas can access the game via a QR code displayed on arena cubes at halftime, during time-outs, and after each quarter, bringing the One Team spirit directly to the stands.
The general public will also be able to participate through the EuroLeague and BKT EuroCup platforms, as well as by scanning QR codes shared on One Team social media channels during the week.
As part of the One Team Games, participants and Ambassadors will wear a special One Team T-shirt provided by Euroleague Basketball.
Printed on the back is the message that defines the movement: #WeAreAllOneTeam – a statement of belonging that transcends backgrounds and differences, reminding everyone that every individual matters.
Across the shirt are the names of this season’s participants, staff, One Team Ambassadors, and contributors. Each name represents a story of courage, commitment and community. Together, they form a powerful reminder that every person counts, and that true strength comes from standing together.
“I think both the One Team program and the One Team Games are really great ways to show just how much good basketball can bring into people’s lives,” said Onuralp Bitim, who plays for Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul and is a One Team Ambassador. “Just a little hope and just a little smile can make a big change. I’m super proud to play even a small part in it, and I hope we can keep spreading this message together.”
The One Team Games help to unite all EuroLeague and BKT EuroCup clubs under one shared purpose, as Euroleague Basketball continues to demonstrate that the power of a team extends far beyond the final score.
When everyone plays their part, something stronger is created – on the court and beyond.
