According to the discussion highlighted by <strong data-start=\"2477\" data-end=\"2488\">SPORT24<\/strong>, a <strong data-start=\"2492\" data-end=\"2506\">JB Capital<\/strong> valuation places the possible starting value of a license at <strong data-start=\"2568\" data-end=\"2583\">\u20ac85 million<\/strong>, while other media estimates suggest a range between <strong data-start=\"2637\" data-end=\"2668\">\u20ac45 million and \u20ac70 million<\/strong>, with some markets potentially going even higher.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2758\" data-end=\"3159\">Among the examples mentioned, markets such as <strong data-start=\"2804\" data-end=\"2813\">Paris<\/strong> are seen as potentially reaching <strong data-start=\"2847\" data-end=\"2863\">\u20ac100 million<\/strong>, while other cities, even with strong basketball tradition, could be valued lower depending on local economy, market size and commercial appeal. In other words, the price would not necessarily be fixed, but shaped by the strength of each individual project.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3161\" data-end=\"3610\">It is important to note, however, that the <strong data-start=\"3204\" data-end=\"3218\">EuroLeague<\/strong> has confirmed its intention to keep moving toward a more stable franchise-based structure, but it has not published any official final pricing for permanent licenses. What the board has officially confirmed so far is the continuation of the <strong data-start=\"3460\" data-end=\"3480\">20-team, 38-game<\/strong> format for the 2026-27 season, while the long-term franchise path is still being developed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Permanent-license pricing is becoming a central topic in the competition\u2019s long-term future<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":492949,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[199],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-492948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/Paok.png","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492948"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=492948"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=492948"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=492948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
