Germany capped an unbeaten run through EuroBasket 2025 with an 88-83 win over Türkiye in the final, claiming its second European title and pairing it with the FIBA World Cup crown the team already held from 2023.
Dennis Schröder's late heroics, capped by a go-ahead layup and a pair of icing free throws, earned him tournament MVP honors, while Serbia, the pre-tournament betting favorite, never made it out of the knockout rounds to challenge for gold.
With that chapter closed, the next edition of EuroBasket isn't until 2029, so sportsbook odds for the tournament won't surface again until much closer to that date. In the meantime, this page serves as a home base for everything worth knowing about the event: how Germany's title run actually played out, a look back at recent champions and how betting favorites have historically fared, and a breakdown of how EuroBasket wagering works for whenever odds do return.

Notable FIBA EuroBasket trends
Spain is the modern dynasty, and it isn't particularly close. The Spaniards have won four titles since 2009 (2009, 2011, 2015, 2022), more than any other nation this century, and they've reached the final an incredible 10 times overall when you count runner-up finishes. No country has been more consistently in the title conversation over the last two decades.
The Soviet Union's stranglehold on the tournament was historic. Between 1947 and 1985, the USSR won 14 titles, more than double the next closest nation, essentially owning the event for nearly four decades. That dynasty ended with the country's dissolution in the early 1990s, and no single successor state has come close to replicating that dominance since (Russia has won just once, in 2007).
No host nation has won since the tournament moved to a multi-host format. Every EuroBasket since 2015 (2015, 2017, 2022, 2025) has been co-hosted across four countries, and in all four editions, none of the host nations claimed gold. That's worth remembering if you're ever tempted to back a co-host purely on home-court sentiment.
The post-Yugoslavia era has been wide open. Since Yugoslavia's last title in 2001 and its subsequent breakup, nine different nations have won EuroBasket (Italy, Greece, Lithuania, Russia, Spain, France, Slovenia, and Germany twice), compared to just a handful of dominant programs controlling the previous 60-plus years. Modern EuroBasket is a genuinely unpredictable tournament by historical standards.
How FIBA EuroBasket Betting Works
EuroBasket betting largely mirrors how bettors approach other international basketball tournaments, with a mix of long-term outright markets and game-by-game wagering once the tournament tips off.
Outright winner
The most common EuroBasket futures bet is simply picking the champion before the tournament begins. Odds shift throughout the event as teams win or lose, so the value is typically best found well before the group stage starts, when public perception hasn't yet caught up to how a roster is actually performing.
Group winner and advancement markets
Beyond the outright, sportsbooks often offer odds on which team wins its group, along with markets on which teams advance out of the group stage entirely. These tend to carry shorter odds than the outright winner market since they require clearing a lower bar, making them a solid entry point for bettors who want tournament exposure without needing to nail the eventual champion.
Game-by-game wagering
Once group play begins, EuroBasket games can be bet the same way as NBA or EuroLeague games, via moneylines, point spreads, and totals. Talent gaps between EuroBasket nations can be significant, especially between traditional powers like Spain, Serbia, and Germany and lower-ranked qualifiers, so spreads in early group play can run notably wider than what NBA bettors are used to seeing.
Player props and tournament awards
Sportsbooks that offer deeper EuroBasket markets sometimes post odds on tournament MVP, top scorer, or All-Tournament Team selections. These markets tend to favor players from the deepest, most successful rosters, since individual awards in a team tournament are heavily influenced by how far a country advances.
FIBA EuroBasket FAQs
The next men's FIBA EuroBasket takes place in 2029, hosted by Estonia, Greece, Slovenia, and Spain. Sportsbook odds typically don't get released until much closer to the event, so this page will be updated with futures and picks as that date approaches.
The Soviet Union won 14 titles, more than any other nation, largely during a dominant run between 1947 and 1985. Since the Soviet Union's dissolution, Spain has been the most successful program, winning four titles since 2009.
EuroBasket was held every two years for most of its history but switched to a four-year cycle starting with the 2017 tournament, aligning it with the FIBA Basketball World Cup schedule.
Germany won EuroBasket 2025, defeating Türkiye 88-83 in the final. It was Germany's second EuroBasket title, pairing it with the FIBA World Cup crown the team already held from 2023. Dennis Schröder was named tournament MVP.
Not since the tournament moved to a multi-host format in 2015. Every edition since then, 2015, 2017, 2022, and 2025, has been co-hosted across four countries, and none of those hosts have gone on to win the title.
Common EuroBasket markets include outright winner futures, group winner and advancement odds, game-by-game moneylines, spreads, and totals, plus player props for tournament MVP and other individual awards.
