Pulse Sports Team 13:02 - 23 September 2026

Only a short time remains until the new EuroLeague season begins. The official website has published its list of favorites, the so-called "power rankings," a day before the first games.

EuroLeague experts have compiled their pre-season power rankings, predicting team performances for the upcoming season.

Real Madrid currently sits atop the list, largely due to their SuperCup triumph. Panathinaikos secures the second spot, closely followed by their fierce rivals, Olympiacos.

Fenerbahçe, Dubai, and Anadolu Efes round out the top six.

Hapoel Tel Aviv is positioned seventh, with Žalgiris right behind them in eighth.

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet and Olimpia share the ninth position.

Valencia and Maccabi trail them, while Partizan is currently ranked 13th.

Below them are Barcelona, Paris, Bayern, Beşiktaş, Asvel, Virtus, and Baskonia.

Naturally, these are merely pre-season predictions. We'll soon see which teams pleasantly surprise and which disappoint once the competition officially kicks off.
