EuroLeague Women Final Six 2027 in Zaragoza: dates & tickets

Why a Final Six? The EuroLeague Women 2027 format explained

For many years Europe's women's club final was decided at a Final Four, like the men's EuroLeague. FIBA changed the model from the 2025 edition, creating a six-team final tournament that adds a quarterfinal day to the traditional weekend. The logic is simple: more top clubs get the experience of a centralised final event, the host city gets five days of activity instead of three, and the competition gets an extra round of high-stakes games in a single arena. In practice, the six qualified teams are not treated equally. The two best-ranked clubs go straight to the semifinals, while the other four play the quarterfinals on the Wednesday. That creates a clear reward for the strongest teams of the season while keeping the door open for clubs that peak in spring, and it explains why the tournament stretches from midweek to Sunday.

The full Final Six schedule therefore contains exactly six games. On Wednesday, April 14, 2027, two quarterfinals send two winners to the semifinals. On Friday, April 16, those two teams meet the clubs that qualified directly for the last four. On Sunday, April 18, the semifinal losers play the third-place game and the winners contest the final. For spectators, that is excellent value, because a multi-day pass gives access to all six games over three competition days, including the medal games on the Sunday. For the clubs, it means a team entering in the quarterfinals has to win three games in five days to lift the trophy, which can be a heavy physical load. If you want to compare this structure with the other 2027 finals, our Final Four 2027 dates calendar puts every European and American event side by side.

How teams qualify for the Final Six 2027

The road to Zaragoza started long before the Regular Season. For 2026-27, 24 clubs from 11 national federations registered: twelve entered the Regular Season directly and twelve went through Qualifiers, played in four single-elimination brackets of three teams, with the winners taking the last four places and the losers dropping into the EuroCup Women. The Regular Season then brings together 16 teams in four groups of four, followed by a second round for the clubs that advance. The next step is a set of play-in series, played as best-of-three with the higher-seeded team hosting the second and, if needed, the third game. Those series decide which clubs complete the Final Six field and in which round they enter. FIBA publishes the full competition system with the season documents, and we will summarise the final bracket here as soon as the six qualified clubs are confirmed in spring 2027. Until then, every group game counts.

Final Six Zaragoza: the Pabellón Príncipe Felipe

The Pabellón Príncipe Felipe is Zaragoza's main indoor arena and the home of Casademont Zaragoza, which is one of the reasons the city has been such a natural host. FIBA and the local organisers agreed a multi-year deal covering the 2025, 2026 and 2027 Final Six editions, and 2027 is the last year of that agreement. The arena sits within the city rather than on a remote outskirts site, which makes it straightforward to reach by bus, taxi or on foot from many central neighbourhoods. The 2026 edition drew sell-out crowds, helped by the presence of the home team in the semifinals, and organisers will hope for a similar scenario in 2027. The 2027 event is also tied into Zaragoza's year as European Capital of Sport, with the city's sporting programme listed among the Final Six partners alongside the regional tourism board and the city council. That gives the 2027 edition extra visibility at home.

The home angle: Casademont Zaragoza and the EuroLeague Women 2027

Casademont Zaragoza are the story every local fan will follow this season. The club was drawn as a top seed in Group A of the 2026-27 Regular Season, alongside Basket Landes, Athinaikos Qualco and a club coming through the Qualifiers. Zaragoza and Landes already met in a quarterfinal at the 2026 Final Six, which Zaragoza won on the way to their semifinal, so that group pairing has a ready-made rivalry. As host club, Casademont's presence in the arena changes the economics of the whole event: when the home team plays, demand for tickets rises sharply, the atmosphere becomes more intense and neutral visitors find themselves in a full, loud venue. Whether the club qualifies again depends entirely on its results, because hosting does not guarantee a place, but the organisers will clearly be hoping that Zaragoza fans have their own team to cheer on Wednesday, Friday or both. A home final would be the dream scenario.

Final Six 2027 contenders: Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and the rest

The defending champions are Fenerbahçe, who beat Galatasaray in an all-Istanbul final in Zaragoza in 2026 to secure the club's third EuroLeague Women title. The Turkish champions have announced their intention to defend the crown, and they are in Group C of the 2026-27 Regular Season alongside Valencia Basket, CS Rapid Bucureşti and a qualifier. Galatasaray, beaten finalists last spring, are in Group B. With two Istanbul giants, two strong Spanish clubs in Casademont Zaragoza and Valencia, and established European sides such as Basket Landes and Athinaikos Qualco in the field, the 2027 Final Six looks set to be highly competitive. Our view, which is a prediction rather than a fact, is that Fenerbahçe start as favourites thanks to their depth and recent experience, but the gap at the top of women's club basketball in Europe is narrow enough for a surprise champion. The Final Six format, with a demanding quarterfinal day, can also punish a favourite that enters in the first round rather than directly in the semifinals.

What a Spanish team in the Final Six Zaragoza means for tickets

From a ticketing perspective, the most important variable for 2027 is how many Spanish clubs qualify. If both Casademont Zaragoza and Valencia Basket reach the Final Six, local and national demand for single-day tickets will be very high, especially for the days on which the home side plays. Turkish clubs also bring passionate travelling supporters, and an Istanbul team in the final would almost certainly fill its allocation. That is why multi-day passes bought now, before the field is known, are usually the safest choice: you lock in a seat for all six games at a fixed price, and you do not compete with a wave of late demand if Zaragoza qualify. If you only care about one specific day, waiting for single-day tickets can make sense, but there is no guarantee that every category will still be available at that stage. Passes remove that uncertainty entirely, which is why we recommend them.

EuroLeague Women Final Six 2027 tickets and prices

The official sale for the Final Six 2027 opened at 12:00 CET on Monday, October 5, 2026, with multi-day passes covering the whole event. Four categories were announced: VIP at €250, Category 1 at €80, Category 2 at €70 and Category 3 at €60. Those prices give access to all six games across the quarterfinal, semifinal and final days, which makes even the top regular category very affordable compared with the men's EuroLeague Final Four, where 2026 passes in Athens ranged from €399 to €952. Single-day tickets have not been released yet and will go on sale at a later date, according to the organisers. We expect them to appear closer to the event, possibly once the qualified teams are better known, but that timing is our estimate. When they launch, the 🔔 alert on this page will send you a quick reminder.

A few practical points help when buying. First, compare the view from each category on the seating plan before choosing, since in a traditional arena like the Príncipe Felipe even the cheaper categories are relatively close to the court. Second, check how tickets are delivered and whether they can be transferred, which matters if you are buying for a group. Third, if you end up on the secondary market because a category sells out, use an established resale platform with a buyer guarantee and confirm the delivery date.

Getting to the Final Six Zaragoza by train, plane or car

Zaragoza is one of the easiest cities in Spain to reach for a basketball weekend because it sits on the high-speed rail line between Madrid and Barcelona. Direct high-speed trains from Madrid typically take about an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half to reach Zaragoza Delicias station, depending on the service and the number of stops. From Barcelona Sants, direct trains usually take around an hour and a half, with the fastest services slightly quicker and some departures closer to an hour and three quarters. Several operators run on the route, so it is worth comparing prices and timetables, especially if you book early. For fans flying in from abroad, landing in Madrid or Barcelona and continuing by train is often simpler than looking for a direct flight to Zaragoza, and it gives you flexibility if game times change.

Once in Zaragoza, the city is compact and pleasant to explore between games. The midweek start of the Final Six means that many visitors combine the event with a short holiday, spending free mornings in the historic centre around the Basílica del Pilar and the Ebro riverbanks before heading to the arena. Hotels can fill quickly when a Spanish club qualifies, so book a refundable room as soon as you decide to go, and consider the Thursday and Saturday rest days as opportunities for day trips. If you plan to see more European basketball that spring, the EuroCup Finals begin on April 21, 2027, a few days after the Final Six, and the BCL Final Four is expected in late April or May. Our EuroCup Finals 2027 page and BCL Final Four 2027 guide help you plan a longer trip.

When and where is the Final Six 2027?

The EuroLeague Women Final Six 2027 takes place in Zaragoza, Spain, at the Pabellón Príncipe Felipe, from Wednesday, April 14 to Sunday, April 18, 2027. The quarterfinals are on Wednesday, April 14, the semifinals on Friday, April 16, and the final and third-place game on Sunday, April 18. Thursday and Saturday are rest days for the teams, which gives visitors time to explore the city. Tip-off times have not been published yet and will be confirmed closer to the event, so keep some flexibility in your travel plans, especially on the Sunday when the third-place game and the final are played back to back. This is the third consecutive year Zaragoza hosts the event, after the 2025 and 2026 editions, and the last year of the multi-year agreement between FIBA and the city.

How much do Final Six Zaragoza tickets cost?

Multi-day passes for the Final Six Zaragoza went on sale on Monday, October 5, 2026 at 12:00 CET. The announced prices are €250 for VIP, €80 for Category 1, €70 for Category 2 and €60 for Category 3, and each pass covers all six games across the three competition days. That works out at between roughly €10 and €14 per game for the regular categories, which makes the Final Six one of the most affordable elite basketball events in Europe. Single-day tickets are not yet available and will go on sale at a later date, according to the organisers, so prices for them have not been announced. We would not expect them to be cheaper per game than the pass, but that is our estimate rather than official information. If you are sure you want to attend, the multi-day pass is the safest option, especially if you hope to see Casademont Zaragoza play in front of a full home crowd.

Who won the EuroLeague Women title in 2026?

Fenerbahçe won the 2026 EuroLeague Women title in Zaragoza, beating Galatasaray in an all-Istanbul final to secure the club's third European crown. Galatasaray's run to the final confirmed the strength of Turkish clubs at the top of the women's game, while home side Casademont Zaragoza reached the semifinals after beating Basket Landes in the quarterfinals, delighting the sell-out crowds at the Pabellón Príncipe Felipe. For the 2026-27 season, Fenerbahçe have made clear they intend to defend the trophy, and they are in Group C of the Regular Season with Valencia Basket, CS Rapid Bucureşti and a qualifier. Galatasaray are in Group B, and Casademont Zaragoza are a top seed in Group A. The EuroLeague Women 2027 title race therefore starts with Fenerbahçe as the benchmark, but with at least two Spanish clubs and another Istanbul giant capable of stopping them in April. Expect plenty of drama along the way, right up to Sunday.

How do I get to Zaragoza for the Final Six 2027?

The easiest route for most visitors is the high-speed train. Zaragoza Delicias station lies on the line between Madrid and Barcelona, and direct trains from Madrid usually take around an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half, while direct services from Barcelona Sants generally take about an hour and a half to an hour and three quarters, depending on the operator and the stops. International visitors therefore often fly into Madrid or Barcelona and continue by rail, which tends to be simpler and offers more choice than flights to Zaragoza itself. Once in the city, the arena is accessible by local bus and taxi, and many central hotels are within a reasonable distance. Book refundable accommodation early, because rooms can become scarce if Casademont Zaragoza or Valencia qualify. The 🔔 alert on this page will let you know when tip-off times and single-day tickets are announced, so you can finalise your travel with confidence.
