EuroBasket 2025: Dates, Teams, Groups, and Full Knockout Stage Matchups (3 Viewers)

[Wonderboy]

After a three-year break since the 2022 edition, EuroBasket is set to return in 2025. To get you ready for the action, Checkout this quick guide covering the EuroBasket 2025 format, group setup, and schedule.

EuroBasket 2025 Format​

The tournament will follow the same structure as recent editions, with 24 teams split into four groups of six. Each group will play in a round robin format, meaning every team will have five games. The top four from each group will move on to a single elimination knockout stage starting with the Round of 16 and continuing through the Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and the championship game.

The group stage will take place from August 27 to September 4, 2025. The 16 surviving teams will then head to Riga, Latvia, for the Final Phase, which wraps up with the title game on September 14.

The Round of 16 matchups will be set as follows:

A1 vs. B4
A2 vs. B3
B1 vs. A4
B2 vs. A3
C1 vs. D4
C2 vs. D3
D1 vs. C4
D2 vs. C3

From there, winners will advance through the bracket until only two teams remain to battle it out for the EuroBasket crown.
