The Leaders Cup 2026 is taking shape. Organized in Poitiers from February 20 to 22, the LNB mid-season competition revealed this Thursday, January 15, the matchups for its quarterfinals. Between potential EuroLeague clashes in the semifinals, duels between regular participants, and confrontations loaded with recent history, the tournament promises to be particularly open.

A strong field for three intense days in Poitiers
