A total of 70 EuroLeague players should compete in the final FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers window. Germany and Serbia will have the most EuroLeague players, with 10 each.
It's that time of year again -- the EuroLeague takes a break, and the FIBA Qualifiers step into the spotlight. This time, it's the final window of the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers, where 13 more tickets are still up for grabs.
For many teams, their best shot at making it comes down to their top players -- EuroLeague athletes.
The third and final FIBA window is set for February 20-21 and February 23-24.
Unlike the last window in November, when the schedule clashed with EuroLeague games, this time around, clubs are on break, meaning more big names can join their national teams.
Back in November, 50 EuroLeague players were called up, but not all of them saw action -- some played just one game over the weekend, while others didn't hit the floor at all.
The last time FIBA and EuroLeague aligned their calendars was in February 2024, and back then, 93 EuroLeague players suited up for their countries.
This time? 70.
Out of the 32 national teams battling in the FIBA Qualifiers, 19 will feature at least one EuroLeague player.
A quick note:
- This article is based on roster data from FIBA's Roster Tracker, but final lineups can change due to injuries (like Serbia's Aleksej Pokusevski or Greece's Thomas Walkup) or other availability issues.

Countries with the most EuroLeague players
Germany and Serbia lead the pack this window, each with 10 EuroLeague players.
The reigning world champions, Germany, still haven't officially punched their EuroBasket 2025 ticket, so they can't afford any slip-ups. They even brought in eight-year NBA veteran Daniel Theis, who is fresh off signing with AS Monaco, to help get the job done.
It's hard to imagine Germany missing their 15th straight EuroBasket. But until they secure that one crucial win, there's still a chance.
Right behind them are Greece, with 9 EuroLeague players, and Italy, with 8. France follows with 7, while Turkiye has 5, with returning Shane Larkin.
Croatia will have 3, and 12 other European countries will feature no more than 2.
Looking back at last February's window, Greece led the way with 11 EuroLeague players, while Spain, Italy, and Serbia had 10 each. Germany and France had 8, Turkiye 7, Israel 5, and Lithuania 4.
Meanwhile, 13 national teams won't have any EuroLeague representation this time around. That list includes Belgium, Cyprus, Great Britain, Hungary, Lithuania, Montenegro, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, and Ukraine.
