Euroleague and Eurocup to Resume Games in Israel on December 1

Organizers set a cautious restart after two years of neutral‑site games, with security under constant review.

Overview

  • ECA clubs meeting in Barcelona set December 1, 2025 as the target date for restoring home fixtures in Israel.
  • Israeli teams have hosted in neutral locations since October 2023, with Maccabi Tel Aviv in Belgrade and Hapoel Tel Aviv in Sofia.
  • The privately run Euroleague says it will keep assessing political and security risks before and after the restart.
  • Published schedules have FC Bayern visiting Hapoel on January 29 and Maccabi on February 12, pointing to two trips to Israel in early 2026.
  • Recent months saw recurring pro‑Palestinian protests at events involving Israeli teams, and a ceasefire agreement has not resolved the broader conflict.
