Fenerbahçe Opet outlasts Galatasaray Çağdaş Faktoring to win 2025-26 EuroLeague Women championship

— EuroLeague Women (@EuroLeagueWomen) April 19, 2026

While Fenerbahçe never fully buried Galatasaray, they controlled most of the second half, stretching their five-point halftime advantage to 11 points early in the third quarter. Galatasaray trimmed the margin to four points at the start of the fourth period before an Allemand triple midway through the final frame to advance Fenerbahçe’s edge back to double digits.

From there, there was little doubt about the final result.

Zaragoza escapes against Girona for first-ever podium finish

Although less consequential, the third-place game between Casademont Zaragoza and Spar Girona featured more late-game thrills.

The hosts, Zaragoza, ultimately prevailed 66-63, earning the club’s first-ever EuroLeague Women podium finish with the dramatic flair that has defined their season.

Trailing by two points at the half, Zaragoza used a 23-12 third quarter to grab the game—until they later threatened to let it slip away.

With just over three and a half minutes to go, Zaragoza claimed a 65-57 lead, but a scoring drought followed by two-straight 3s from Girona left Zaragoza clinging to a two-point, 65-63, edge with just over a minute to go. After both side experienced an empty possession, Carla Leite drew a foul, sending her to the line with 17 seconds left to secure the game for Zaragoza.

She missed the first but made the second, meaning Girona had life. They got up three 3-pointers on their final possession—one from Justē Jocytē, one from Chloe Bibby and one from Laure Quevedo—but all missed.

Zaragoza escaped, and their more than 10,000 supporters in attendance exulted.

While Bibby missed her potential game-tying triple, she led Girona with 17 points. Klara Holm, the fifth All-Star Five honoree, tallied 14 points and 13 boards.
