Overview

  • Reports indicate the league is exploring staging the Top Four at Munich’s SAP Garden as early as 2026, with CEO Stefan Holz saying the clubs favor the move.
  • D. LIVE asserts a written contract signed in January 2025 awards hosting rights to Düsseldorf for 2027–2029 and calls a relocation a breach.
  • The company has sent a legal demand for immediate confirmation of contractual performance and has expressly reserved the right to take the matter to court.
  • The BBL says it will speak with Düsseldorf to find a solution, and no official decision to change the venue has been announced.
  • The push for a fixed site follows repeated late-stage arena availability problems, and the SAP Garden is reported to be free on the planned February 21–22, 2026 dates, with Bayern indicating openness to host.
