The field for the 2024 EuroLeague Women postseason is set, and the first round will tip-off on Wednesday, Feb. 21. Also known as the quarterfinals, the first round will feature eight of Europe’s best basketball clubs, each having qualified for the playoffs via EuroLeague Women group play, competing in a best-of-three format. They’ll also be cross-matched by group to ensure matchups different than those from the group phase.
Here are the clubs that will be competing in the 2024 EuroLeague Women quarterfinals:
- Beretta Famila Schio (Italy)
- Casademont Zaragoza (Spain)
- Çukurova Basketbol Mersin (Turkey)
- DVTK HUN-Therm (Hungary)
- Fenerbahçe Alagöz Holding (Turkey)
- Perfumerias Avenida (Spain)
- Villeneuve-d’Ascq LM (France)
- ZVVZ USK Praha (Czech Republic)
Last season, there was little doubt that Fenerbahçe would be crowned EuroLeague Women champion. The Turkish club repeated its 12-2 group phase performance this season, featuring an offense (85.6 points and 25.2 assists per game) that was once again head and shoulders above the competition. A well-balanced roster starring Emma Meesseman, Kayla McBride and Napheesa Collier makes Fenerbahçe a popular pick to win it all, and the defending champs topped FIBA’s most recent postseason power rankings.
