The Lithuanian powerhouse have won three in a row, are currently placed 7th in the EuroLeague standings with a positive 11-8 balance, and their future in the competition looks bright.

On top of that, Zalgiris can count on the most dedicated fan support any team across the continent can relish.

With the exception of their maiden home game vs. Virtus Segafredo Bologna on October 18, 2022, Zalgiris have a streak of eight soldout contests that will be further extended to 11.

Starting with the game against Crvena Zvezda next Friday (Jan. 20), and moving forward to the clashes with Partizan and Baskonia in early February (3 and 10, respectively), all tickets have been sold out. 

That makes 11 straight games with the maximum capacity at the Zalgiris arena, the place where the next EuroLeague Final Four will take place. 

Zalgiris' first soldout was against FC Barcelona (15,146 spectators) and ALBA Berlin (14,916 fans). The first EuroLeague home game of the season against Virtus Segafredo Bologna was viewed by 11,024 people.

So far, the team coached by Kazys Maksvytis boasts an impressive 7-2 in their home games, only losing to Panathinaikos and Anadolu Efes. Surprisingly, both contests were decided long before the final buzzer (67-81, 60-86).

Right now, the nearest Euroleague home match, for which tickets are left, will take place in March. LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, Olympiacos Piraeus, AS Monaco and Valencia Basket will arrive in Kaunas in the first month of spring, while the last EuroLeague regular season game will be hosted in the Zalgiris arena on April 6 vs. Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv.

Tickets are available for three more games featuring Zalgiris: the Jan. 22 Lithuanian Cup quarter-final vs. Wolves, the Jan. 29 LKL clash with Jovana, and the home game vs. Prienai on February 12.

All this makes it 150,000 tickets sold for Zalgiris EuroLeague home games, a number that's likely to increase and exceed 200,000 over the course of the 2022-23 campaign.
