The 2024–25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague will be 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 will be the 68th season of the premier basketball competition for European men's clubs. The season will begin on 3 October 2024 and will end on 25 May 2025 with the Final Four.[1] The Final Four will be held 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.[2]

For the fourth straight season, CSKA Moscow had their EuroLeague license rescinded following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3]

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 AKTOR are the defending champions.
