FIBA EuroBasket β Standings, Odds and Basketball Betting Online
EuroBasket is the European men's basketball championship organised by FIBA β 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 SchrΓΆder, 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 β Luka DonΔiΔ (Slovenia), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greece), Nikola JokiΔ (Serbia) β creating high-level matches with odds often more interesting than the NBA thanks to national team dynamics being less predictable than club franchises.

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 β no best-of-7 series like the NBA.
Phase | Teams | Games |
|---|---|---|
Groups (4 Γ 6) | 24 | 60 games |
Round of 16 | 16 β 8 | 8 games |
Quarter-finals | 8 β 4 | 4 games |
Semi-finals | 4 β 2 | 2 games |
Final + 3rd place | 4 | 2 games |
This single-game format makes the knockout rounds particularly unpredictable for betting β unlike the NBA where the favourite has 7 games to prevail, here one bad night eliminates a top team.
NBA stars at EuroBasket β 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 DonΔiΔ | Slovenia | Dallas Mavericks | Turns Slovenia into a dangerous outsider |
Giannis Antetokounmpo | Greece | Milwaukee Bucks | Systematic favourite with him, outsider without |
Nikola JokiΔ | Serbia | Denver Nuggets | Serbia rises 2-3 ranks when he plays |
Dennis SchrΓΆder | 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 β next edition
The next edition will be held in summer 2029 across four co-hosts: Spain (Madrid β final phase), Greece (Athens), Slovenia (Ljubljana) and Estonia (Tallinn). Germany will be the defending champions. Pre-qualifiers have been underway since November 2025.
