EuroLeague introduced Play-In Showdownfor 2023-2024 season
The EuroLeague format will have one major change designed to increase the excitement of the playoff race
The EuroLeague format will have one major change designed to increase the excitement of the playoff race. The Play-In Showdown will require teams who finish from the seventh through 10th places at the end of the regular season to play their way into the playoffs.
The seventh- and eighth-place teams will face off in a single game whose winner will advance to the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, the ninth- and 10th-place teams will meet in a do-or-die showdown that sends the losing side home and the winner to a second game vs. the loser of the 7-8 game for the final ticket to the playoffs. The team with the better regular-season record will be the home team in each game.
The decisions made at the Assembly of Syndicate Shareholders of ECA will be brought to the ECA Shareholders Meeting, to be held on July 4, 2023.
