EuroBasket 2025 is onto the knockout stage with 16 teams and plenty of NBA stars still competing to be crowned men’s basketball champions of Europe. There will not be a repeat champion, however. Spain, which won the competition in 2022, was ousted in the group stage in the 2025 event.
The knockout stage, including the third-place and championship game, will be held in Riga, Latvia.
EuroBasket 2025 is not short on star power. Luka Dončić is suiting up for his home country of Slovenia, while three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokić leads Serbia, the tournament favorites. Giannis Antetokounmpo is participating for Greece once again. A slew of other NBA players like Latvia’s Kristaps Porziņģis, Franz Wagner — who helped lead Germany to a bronze medal in 2022 — and a promising young French duo of Zaccharie Risacher and Bilal Coulibaly are other names to watch. France’s Victor Wembanyama, however, is not be competing in EuroBasket after his NBA season was cut short by a blood clot in February.
With the tournament underway, here’s everything you need to know:
Format
The tournament began with a group stage, with four groups consisting of six teams each. The group stage, which wrapped up on Sept. 4, was round-robin style play, in which each team played others in their respective group once. The top four teams in each group advanced to the knockout phase.
