EuroLeague Matchday Preview: Fixtures, Schedule & Key Matchups
The EuroLeague is back for the 2026–27 season, with 20 teams beginning a 38-round regular-season campaign that will ultimately lead to the Play-In Showdown, playoffs and 2027 EuroLeague Final Four. The new season features the same home-and-away format as 2025–26, with every club playing 38 regular-season games.
The competition has also welcomed BeÅŸiktaÅŸ Istanbul into the field in place of AS Monaco, while Dubai Basketball and Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv continue as part of the 20-team competition. The regular season began on 24 September and is scheduled to run through April 2027.
Across Europe, clubs will look to establish an early rhythm, integrate new signings and manage the demands of a packed calendar. With double-round weeks arriving early in the campaign, strong starts can be particularly valuable as teams balance domestic commitments with European basketball.

EuroLeague Matchday 4: Game of the Week Preview
Panathinaikos vs Fenerbahçe is the standout fixture of the round, bringing together two unbeaten teams that have made impressive starts to the 2026–27 EuroLeague season. Panathinaikos have won all three of their opening games, beating Paris 91–72, LDLC ASVEL 102–79 and Maccabi Tel Aviv 90–67. Fenerbahçe have also opened with a perfect 3–0 record, overcoming Virtus Bologna 78–68 before following up with a 100–76 win over Bayern Munich and a 76–66 victory against Dubai.
Both sides have already demonstrated considerable offensive firepower. Panathinaikos have scored 283 points across their first three EuroLeague games, averaging more than 94 points per game, while Fenerbahçe have put up 254 points in their opening three. The numbers underline the attacking quality both teams have brought to the early stages of the campaign.
There is also plenty of recent history between the two clubs. Fenerbahçe edged Panathinaikos 85–83 in their most recent meeting in February 2026, while Panathinaikos had won the previous encounter 81–77 in Istanbul in December 2025. The teams have traded victories regularly in recent seasons, with their last five meetings split 3–2 in Panathinaikos’ favour.
Panathinaikos enter the game with the momentum of three consecutive EuroLeague victories and home-court advantage at the Telekom Center Athens. Fenerbahçe, meanwhile, arrive unbeaten and fresh from another convincing win over Dubai. Both teams have already shown they can score heavily, making this an early-season meeting between two sides that have started the campaign with genuine momentum.
With both teams sitting at 3–0, the Round 4 clash offers an early test of their credentials against one another. Recent meetings have been closely contested, and with neither side having dropped a EuroLeague game so far, the matchup promises to be one of the defining fixtures of the opening weeks of the season.
