FIBA EuroBasket — Standings, Odds and Basketball Betting Online

EuroBasket is the European men's basketball championship organised by FIBA — the basketball equivalent of the Euro in football. Held every four years (since 2017, the cycle shifted from two to four years), the tournament brings together 24 national teams in a group stage followed by a single-elimination bracket. The 2025 edition crowned Germany for the second time in history, confirming the rise of a basketball powerhouse led by NBA star Dennis Schröder, named tournament MVP.

For the Moroccan bettor, EuroBasket offers two and a half weeks of intense international basketball with NBA stars in national team colours — Luka Dončić (Slovenia), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greece), Nikola Jokić (Serbia) — creating high-level matches with odds often more interesting than the NBA thanks to national team dynamics being less predictable than club franchises.

EuroBasket 2025 — results and recent history

Tournament format

EuroBasket follows a two-phase format:

Group stage: 24 teams split into 4 groups of 6. Each team plays 5 matches. The top 4 from each group (16 teams) advance to the knockout phase.

Knockout phase: Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. All knockout matches are single games — no best-of-7 series like the NBA.

Phase	Teams	Games
Groups (4 × 6)	24	60 games
Round of 16	16 → 8	8 games
Quarter-finals	8 → 4	4 games
Semi-finals	4 → 2	2 games
Final + 3rd place	4	2 games

This single-game format makes the knockout rounds particularly unpredictable for betting — unlike the NBA where the favourite has 7 games to prevail, here one bad night eliminates a top team.

NBA stars at EuroBasket — why odds shift

EuroBasket attracts Europe's biggest NBA stars, transforming the level of play and betting dynamics:

Player	National team	NBA club	Impact on odds
Luka Dončić	Slovenia	Dallas Mavericks	Turns Slovenia into a dangerous outsider
Giannis Antetokounmpo	Greece	Milwaukee Bucks	Systematic favourite with him, outsider without
Nikola Jokić	Serbia	Denver Nuggets	Serbia rises 2-3 ranks when he plays
Dennis Schröder	Germany	Brooklyn Nets	2025 MVP, defending champion's leader
Rudy Gobert	France	Minnesota Timberwolves	Dominant interior defence

Whether or not NBA stars participate is the #1 factor influencing pre-tournament odds. A player like Antetokounmpo can shift Greece's odds from 15.00 to 5.00. Tracking participation announcements in the weeks before the tournament is crucial for finding ante-post value.

EuroBasket 2029 — next edition

The next edition will be held in summer 2029 across four co-hosts: Spain (Madrid — final phase), Greece (Athens), Slovenia (Ljubljana) and Estonia (Tallinn). Germany will be the defending champions. Pre-qualifiers have been underway since November 2025.
