The eight teams battling it out will lace up their sneakers for quarter-final showdowns on Thursday and Friday, semi-finals on Saturday, and then the grand final on Sunday. It’s elimination style – one shot, one chance! Get your snacks ready!
The Roig Arena: A Basketball Paradise
Drum roll, please! The set for this basketball bash is the magnificent Roig Arena, a freshly minted multi-purpose venue that’s just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the iconic Fuente de San Luis – Valencia Basket’s old stomping grounds. With a capacity of 15,600 basketball fans, this arena is decked out with cutting-edge tech and a design that screams ‘major event!’ Oh, and guess what? It’s not just a one-time gig; Valencia will host the King’s Cup again in 2027. Talk about making memories!
The Teams Who Will Take Center Stage
So, who’s invited to this dazzling party? Valencia Basket is the only team guaranteed a spot as the host. The rest will come down to the top seven clubs from the end of the first round of the Liga Endesa. The first round wraps up around January 24th-25th, at which point the official participant list will be locked and loaded!
A Fresh Broadcasting Era
This season is shaking things up in Spanish basketball broadcast! The ACB has inked a multi-year deal with DAZN, making it the exclusive broadcaster for the Supercopa Endesa, Liga Endesa, and of course, the ACB King’s Cup! For the next five seasons, if you want to catch all the on-court action, DAZN is the go-to platform. It’s game on, folks!
