Euroleague Strengthens Structure Against NBA Expansion Threats

The Euroleague made a strategic move against the threat of an NBA Europe league expected in the 2027-28 season. Licenses for Real Madrid, Fenerbahce, and ASVEL Villeurbanne were extended for 10 years, making the franchise system permanent.

With these steps, the league aims to ensure financial and sporting stability by expanding to 24 teams by 2028.
