The 2024–25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague is the 25th season of the modern era of the EuroLeague, and the 15th under the title sponsorship of Turkish Airlines. Including the competition's previous incarnation as the FIBA Europe Champions Cup, this is the 68th season of the premier basketball competition for European men's clubs. The season began on 3 October 2024 and will end on 25 May 2025 with the Final Four. The Final Four will be held at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, which marks the first time in European basketball history that the game is played outside of the continent.
For the fourth straight season, CSKA Moscow had their EuroLeague license rescinded following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This will be the second straight season under the new format with the play-in tournament for seventh- to tenth-placed teams in the regular season.
Panathinaikos are the defending champions.

Regular season
The regular season began on 3 October 2024 and will conclude on 11 April 2025. The 18 teams will play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format over 34 rounds where only 10 teams will advance to the postseason. Moreover, the top six teams from regular season will receive a bye to the playoffs, while the teams placed from seventh to 10th will participate in the play-in to get the last two playoff spots. At the tail end of the standings, teams placed from 11th to 18th will be eliminated after the regular season.

Play-in
Under the new format, the 7th to 10th-ranked teams faced each other in the play-in. Each game is hosted by the team with the higher regular season record. The format was similar to the first two rounds of the Page–McIntyre system for a four-team playoff that was identical to that of the NBA play-in tournament. First, the 7th seed will host the 8th seed, with the winner advancing to the playoffs as the 7th seed; likewise the 9th seed will host the 10th seed, with the loser eliminated. Then the loser of the 7-v-8 game will host the winner of the 9-v-10 game, with the winner of that game getting the final playoff spot, as the 8th seed.
Playoffs
Playoffs series are best-of-five. The first team to win three games wins the series. A 2–2–1 format is used – teams with home-court advantage play games 1, 2, and 5 at home, while their opponents host games 3 and 4. Games 4 and 5 are only played if necessary. The four winning teams advance to the Final Four.
