Euroleague Basketball is proud to announce that Movistar Plus+ will reinforce its Euroleague Basketball competitions portfolio in Spain by bringing Dreamland Gran Canaria's and Joventut Badalona's playoff games plus the BKT EuroCup Semifinals and Finals to the country's devoted basketball fans.
Movistar Plus+ will broadcast every BKT EuroCup fixture played by a Spanish team in addition to select semifinal games and the EuroCup Finals.
The BKT EuroCup started the 2023-24 season with a revamped competition format in which the regular season reduced the number of teams advancing to the playoffs from eight to six, with the top two teams in each regular season group advancing directly to the quarterfinals. In addition, the semifinals and finals will be played in a best-of-three format instead of a single game. The eightfinal and quarterfinal phases maintain the single-game knockout format that has been unanimously celebrated by the fans as it brings a true basketball drama.
Movistar Plus+'s broadcasts will start with the eighthfinals do-or-die game between Joventut and ratiopharm Ulm on March 5, followed by the reigning EuroCup champion, Gran Canaria putting its title on the line against Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul on March 6.
The BKT EuroCup is the last basketball addition to the Movistar Plus lineup, which broadcasts Europe's premier club basketball competition, the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague; the NBA, and the Spanish domestic league (ACB).
