MUNICH (Germany) - With three gamedays of the 2025-26 EuroLeague Women Regular Season already in the bank, it's time to check out who's punching their weight and who's on the ropes in our updated Power Rankings.
Compiled by our expert panel and regularly reviewed throughout the campaign, they've taken into account all results and performances so far.
They have also considered the first volume which was published before the campaign tipped off and that means for the first time we have climbers, fallers and also teams clinging onto their ranking.
1. Fenerbahce Opet (-)
Season Record: 3-0
There have not been many dull days recently with the arrival of Teaira McCowan and Kayla McBride, the departure of Dominque Malonga and injury issue for the absent Jonquel Jones. Despite disruption, Miguel Mendez, has still masterminded wins, including against Valencia. Iliana Rupert has hit top gear early and that has been the headline.
2. Galatasaray Cagdas Faktoring (+1)
Season Record: 3-0 So far, so good. Galatasaray have lived up to the pre-season hype. Even if their fans have very short finger nails after their team dug out dramatic clutch wins against both Schio and Carolo. Dorka Juhasz, Teja Oblak and Kamiah Smalls have all been influential. It's early days, but can they really go all the way, or will the wheels come off soon?
3. Valencia Basket Club (+1)
Season Record: 2-1
Despite a defeat on record, it's still an upwards move since it came in a titanic tussle with Fenerbahce. There's a feel good vibrancy about Valencia, perhaps fuelled by young guns like Awa Fam turning up the dial. Energetic, deep and with Kayla Alexander and Hind Ben Abdelkader on fire, the early signs are of a Semi-Finals repeat - at least.
4. ZVVZ USK Praha (-2)
Season Record: 2-1 Slightly harsh, but having lifted SuperCup Women silverware, the loss at home to Spar Girona - or at least the scale of it, was a concern. In mitigation, they haven't had Final Six MVP Brionna Jones in situ and there are also still lots of positives with Valeriane Ayayi flying and new arrivals Pauline Astier and Kaitlyn Chen starring in the backcourt.
5. Beretta Famila Schio (-)
Season Record: 2-1
And breathe... Yes, the 2-1 record was almost 1-2 after that possible buzzer beater for Flammes Carolo Basket was wiped off. The relief was palpable for Schio, who've been up and down so far and even within individual games. With a stellar and experienced roster, led by Maria Conde right now, it feels they all need to still step up even more.
6. Casademont Zaragoza (+1)
Season Record: 2-1
Zaragoza just don't do boring do they? After the roller-coaster ride in the Qualifiers, that theme has continued in the first three weeks. Tight games, drama and entertainment. You really have to love it. They could have been 3-0, or even 0-3. But kudos for being 2-1, thanks mainly to the brilliant Helena Pueyo, Mariona Ortiz and Carla Leite.
7. Spar Girona (+4)
Season Record: 3-0
Absolutely flying, it's been the kind of jump start that Roberto Iniguez could have only dreamed of. There was a quiet confidence about Girona being dark horses after some smart additions, but they've already burst out of the shadows and into the light. The three-pronged attack of Klara Holm, Juste Jocyte and Mariam Coulibaly is lethal!
8. Umana Reyer Venezia (+2)
Season Record: 2-1
Coming via the Qualifiers, Reyer maybe flew a little under the radar but with two huge wins are now on the Regular Season map. They have such a solid core and the teamwork is key with six players in double-figures for efficency. If the backcourt and especially Ivana Dojkic can also pick up some form too, then the Second Round beckons!
9. Basket Landes (+4)
Season Record: 2-1
Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V. Yes, Landes are still loving life as underdogs who over achieve time and time again. They won that thriller at Mersin with that amazing Louise Bussierre triple and followed it up by beating Reyer in front of super home support. Newbies Murjanatu Musa, Becky Massey and Julie Wojta have settled nicely and it's looking good!
10. CIMSA CBK Mersin (-5)
Season Record: 0-3
Last year's finalists have had a nightmare start despite the renowned Georgios Dikaioulakos being at the helm. The issues are at both ends, with too little ball pressure and steals, while shooting a poor 23 percent from downtown. Only Kennedy Burke has performed and the rest of their stars need to wake up quickly to now save their season.
11. Flammes Carolo Basket (+3)
Season Record: 1-2
It could have been an even bigger climb having only just been edged out by both Galatasaray and Schio. The win at Sopron was superb and it's been a brilliant team effort, with ana amazing five ballers averaging double digits in efficiency. Carolo have also made it rain as the best perimeter shooting team right now. So, the glass is half full!
12. Tango Bourges Basket (-4)
Season Record: 1-2
Going with an almost exclusively French lineup was always going to be interesting but after being humbled by 30 points in Girona last week, making the Second Round could prove a serious struggle. While Maeva Djaldi Tabdi, Tima Pouye and Kariata Diaby have been solid, the young supporting cast have not yet found their feet at this level.
13. Sopron Basket (-4)
Season Record: 0-3
Even if the panic button isn't being pushed after three losses, we can all still hear the alarm bells ringing. There's just not enough quality or depth compared to their group rivals and they're relying on veteran star Jelena Brooks and Zala Friskovec a lot. That glorious night in Istanbul when crowned 2022 champions now feels a lifetime ago.
14. Olympiacos SFP (+2)
Season Record: 1-2
Despite a couple of defeats, Olympiacos have the win on the board early that some felt might never come. Their home win against DVTK was deserved and ended a worrying 10-game losing run in the competition. Eleanna Christinaki's hot-hand has been the flame to keep their hopes alive, with Nausia Woolfolk also impressive too.
15. DVTK HUNTHERM (-3)
Season Record: 0-3
After riding the crest of a wave in past seasons since breaking onto the scene, DVTK are now looking a little washed up. A double-digit loss at Olympiacos and two other blowouts, it's been a rough ride since navigating the Qualifiers. Struggling offensively and the second worst rebounding team, only their noisy fans have delivered.
16. VBW Gdynia (-1)
Season Record: 0-3
It's been a brutal initiation back into EuroLeague Women for Gdynia and it's impossible to genuinely compete in an elite competition if averaging less than 54 points per game. As their go-to baller, Ruth Hebard is getting so much defensive attention that she would need to don a cape and become a superhero just to keep her team in games.
