The Euroleague is going full throttle next season by expanding to a whopping 20 teams! Brace yourselves for a basketball frenzy with 38 regular-season games and an extra 10 weeks packed with double rounds. Yes, you read that right – 20 clubs, including Serbian giants Crvena zvezda and Partizan, who secured three-year licenses, plus newcomers like EuroCup champions Hapoel Tel Aviv and the ambitious Dubai team. But hold on, it’s not all slam dunks and cheers. This hellish schedule is about to make an already packed season even crazier. National team coaches? Forget about counting on your Euroleague stars during the World Cup qualifiers for Qatar 2027, because the Euroleague calendar is gobbling up all the available windows. Serbia will battle in Group C against Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the runner-up from the pre-qualifiers, with the first qualifying window kicking off at the end of November. Imagine playing two games in three days, then jumping straight into double Euroleague rounds! Will FIBA and the NBA cut some slack? Highly doubtful. This move is like deciding to run a marathon every single day without a break. Thought the basketball season was tough? Get ready for hell on hardwood. Will anyone step up and say, “Enough!”? Or will we just watch players break down and national teams suffer? And seriously, who can keep up with all these games without losing their mind? Got thoughts on this madness? Drop them somewhere – maybe together we can find a way out of this basketball chaos!
