  • Real Madrid has signed a new 10-year contract with the EuroLeague, extending their partnership until 2036.
  • The club had previously considered options with NBA Europe before committing to the EuroLeague.
  • The renewal is expected to be formally approved by the EuroLeague's board on June 26, potentially with a 20-team league format.

Real Madrid has secured its future in European basketball by signing a new ten-year agreement with the EuroLeague, extending their commitment to the competition until 2036. This decision follows a period of intense deliberation within the club, which had seriously explored the possibility of joining NBA Europe.

The club's management ultimately determined that remaining with the EuroLeague offered the best path forward. The previous ten-year deal was set to expire on June 30, but the new agreement ensures Real Madrid's continued presence in the premier European club competition.

The final ratification of this deal is anticipated during the EuroLeague's Board of Directors meeting on Friday, June 26. This meeting will also finalize the schedule for the upcoming season, which is reportedly set to feature a 20-team league with 38 game weeks. Besiktas is expected to replace Monaco, which will move down to the EuroCup.
