Silver medalists in 2022 and Olympic runners-up in Paris 2024, the French basketball team approaches EuroBasket 2025 with ambition. The group stage, which will be held in Riga (Latvia), will be decisive for Frédéric Fauthoux’s team. Here is the complete schedule and TV broadcasts of their first five matches.
A crucial first round for Les Bleus
