Overview
- Member clubs of Euroleague Commercial Assets voted to permit EuroLeague and EuroCup fixtures to be hosted in Israel starting December 1, 2025.
- The decision explicitly covers both top competitions and reverses the neutral‑venue policy adopted after October 2023.
- Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv are cleared to resume EuroLeague home games in Tel Aviv, while Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem can host in EuroCup.
- Euroleague Basketball says it will keep monitoring conditions and liaise with local and international authorities and groups including ELPA, EHCB and UEBO to prioritize safety.
- Since late 2023 Israeli clubs have staged home games in Belgrade and Sofia; Hapoel Jerusalem is scheduled to host Venezia on December 4, which would be the first game in Israel for an Italian team since 2023 if it proceeds.
