The 2024–25 EuroLeague Women is the 67th edition of the European women's club basketball championship organized by FIBA, and the 28th edition since being rebranded as the EuroLeague Women. Fenerbahçe Opet are the two-time defending champions.

Format

Starting this season, a new format will be introduced after FIBA Europe announced a change to the format on 10 May 2024.^[1] On 15 May 2024, the format was explained.^[2]

Regular season (First round)

After the qualifiers, 16 teams will be split into 4 groups of four, where the top three from each group advances to the second round. The fourth place teams drop down to the EuroCup Women knockout stage. The advancing teams' records from the first round are carried over into the next round.

Regular season (Second round)

The 12 remaining teams form 2 groups of six and will play the teams they have not played in the first round. In both groups, the top 2 will play the Semi-Final play-ins while 3rd and 4th play the Quarter-Final play-ins. The teams who finish fifth and sixth are eliminated.

Play Ins

The play ins will decide who makes the final six and where each team will start in the final six. The top 2 play the Semi-Final play-ins and the third and fourth teams play the Quarter-Final play-ins. Both play ins are played in a home and away aggregate format. The higher-seeded teams play the second leg at home.

The winners of the Semi-Final play-ins will automatically progress to the semifinals of the final six, while the victors of the Quarter-Final play-ins will reach the quarterfinals of the final six. The losers of the Quarter-Final play-ins are eliminated.

Final Six

The final six is held in a centralised venue and decide the champion. The losers of the Semi-Final play-ins plus the winners of the Quarter-Final play-ins contest the quarterfinals. The two winners move on to the semifinals to play the teams who automatically qualify for this round. Whoever triumphs in the semifinals reach the final while the losers play the third place match.

Rankings

The results were based on the results of the past three seasons.^[3]

Associations 1–4 can have three teams qualify.
Associations 5–8 each have two teams qualify.
Associations 9–10 each have one team qualify directly into the regular season.
Associations below the top 10 can have one team qualify for the qualification round.

If a club who qualified for the regular season doesn't take the place, it will be given to another club who entered.
