The EuroLeague has entered its final stretch, with the Play-In halfway completed and 3 of the 4 Playoff pairings already set.
This means that we are now counting down to the start of the EuroLeague Playoffs, which will determine which 4 teams will qualify for the Final Four.
When do the Playoffs start and what will their format be?
After the Play-In, 8 teams – the top 6 from the regular season and the two that survive the Play-In – will be divided into 4 pairings, which will be decided in best-of-five series (first to 3 wins), based on their seeding when entering the Playoffs.
The games begin on Tuesday, April 28, and will conclude no later than Wednesday, May 13.
The first 2 games, as well as a potential fifth game in each series, will be played at the home court of the team that finished higher in the regular season.
The winners of the series, of course, will qualify for the Final Four in Athens.
