Published January 27, 2026, 07:26

The 25th round of the EuroLeague begins with a challenging match in Paris, where Paris Basketball hosts a strong Real Madrid team (22:00, NovaSports 4). The home team is looking for an immediate reaction after three consecutive defeats (Monaco, Valencia, Dubai BC) and wants to return to winning ways to avoid falling further behind in the standings. However, with a record of 7-16, their chances of reaching the top 10 are almost nonexistent. Real Madrid comes into the game with six straight wins and aims to capitalize on their momentum as they begin a demanding series of away games. The Madrid team has a record of 16-8 and has climbed in the standings, now seriously contending for a place in the top four. For the home team, Mouhammad Faye, Jeremy Morgan, and Derek Willis are doubtful. On the Real Madrid side, Theo Maledon will be absent. The referees for the match will be Oleg Latishev, Milos Koljensic, and Anne Panther. The remaining schedule for Round 25 includes exciting matches such as Fenerbahce vs Anadolu Efes, Olympiacos vs Barcelona, and Armani Milan vs Partizan. The round will conclude with games like Monaco vs Virtus, Red Star vs Dubai BC, Baskonia vs Zalgiris Kaunas, and Villeurbanne vs Panathinaikos.
