EuroLeague 26/27

New season. New Arena. A new chance to prove how well you know European basketball.

Predict the winner and margin in every match, pick the round MVP, and call where teams will finish on the table. Earn points all season long and compete against other Rival players.

Every round is a new battle

EuroLeague brings together Europe's biggest basketball clubs, nail-biting finishes, and games where a single possession can decide the winner. In the Rival competition you predict the winner and final margin in all 10 games of each of the 38 rounds, then pick the player you think will be the round's MVP. Before the season starts, special predictions for the final standings open up too. Everyone starts from zero, and every round can completely reshuffle the order.
