Representatives of the NBA, Euroleague Basketball and FIBA met on Wednesday, June 10, at FIBA Headquarters in Mies, Switzerland, to continue discussions on the future structure of European basketball.
In a joint statement released after the meeting, the three organizations said: “Representatives of Euroleague Basketball, FIBA and NBA met today at the FIBA Headquarters in Mies, Switzerland, where they continued the constructive discussions on the future of European basketball and on potential opportunities for collaboration.”
The statement confirmed that dialogue remains ongoing between the parties as they explore possible long-term alignment across global and European basketball ecosystems. No final decisions or formal agreements were announced following the session.
The three organizations also confirmed that further engagement is already scheduled. “A new meeting will take place in early July,” the statement added, indicating that the process remains in a structured negotiation phase rather than a finalized framework.
The discussions come amid broader strategic evaluations involving potential expansion models in Europe and the relationship between existing club competitions and international basketball governance structures.
The EuroLeague season structure remains central to the current European basketball landscape, with clubs competing across a 20-team format that includes regular-season standings and postseason qualification. The top-tier competitive hierarchy continues to operate alongside national leagues and FIBA-managed international tournaments.
The ongoing discussions between the NBA, EuroLeague and FIBA arrive at a time when European basketball governance is already managing scheduling density, competitive balance, and commercial growth across multiple markets. Any future framework is expected to interact with these existing structures.
