EuroBasket Women 2027: 16–27 June in Antwerp, Espoo, Stockholm and Vilnius

EuroBasket Women 2027: the tournament in four countries

The 2027 edition is a shared effort. Four nations, Belgium, Finland, Lithuania and Sweden, jointly organise the tournament, which gives FIBA Europe a way to spread cost and bring the event to more fans. The group phase will take place in all four host cities, so the early days of the competition are dispersed across the Baltic and North Sea region, and the later stages are centred in one place. The tournament runs for twelve days, from Wednesday 16 June to Sunday 27 June 2027. As the 41st edition, it follows a long tradition that stretches back to the middle of the last century, and it remains the principal route by which European women's national teams measure themselves against one another. The qualifying competition is still in progress, so the full field is not yet set. The list of teams will be confirmed over the coming months, and the draw will follow. That makes this edition a travelling festival rather than a single-venue event.

City by city: what each EuroBasket 2027 host offers

Each of the four cities has its own character. Antwerp, in Belgium, is a lively port city known for fashion, diamonds and a compact centre that is easy to explore on foot or by bike. Espoo, in Finland, is part of the Helsinki metropolitan area, with lakes, forests and modern architecture close to the capital. Stockholm, in Sweden, is spread across islands, with ferries, museums and a strong summer culture. Vilnius, in Lithuania, is a baroque old town in a country where basketball is almost a national religion, which makes it the most natural home for the knockout stage and the final. The group phase is divided among these cities, though the exact allocation of teams and fixtures is not yet published. If you prefer a single base, choose Vilnius for the finals, or select the city whose group features your favourite team after the draw. Once the draw is made, you can match your team to a city and plan accordingly.

Moving between host cities at EuroBasket Women 2027

Travelling between the four host cities is manageable but needs planning. Short flights connect Brussels or Antwerp's region with Stockholm, Helsinki and Vilnius, and ferries cross the Baltic between Stockholm and the Baltic states and between Helsinki and Tallinn. Within Finland and Sweden, trains and buses are reliable, and in Lithuania the main routes are served by coaches and rail. The tournament is likely to offer matchday transport arrangements, but no details have been announced. Because group fixtures will be spread over several days, a fan could follow one team across two cities or settle in a single venue and watch several teams. Book flights and ferries early, since summer is high season in the region, and keep flexible options where possible. A good rule is to wait for the draw before committing to anything non-refundable. In practice, most visitors will find that two cities are plenty for a single trip.

Long summer days at Women's EuroBasket 2027: the Nordic and Baltic June

June in northern Europe means very long days. In Stockholm and Espoo, the sun sets late and twilight lingers, and around the midsummer period the nights are very short. Vilnius and Antwerp are farther south, but still enjoy generous daylight. That makes this the best time of year for combining basketball with sightseeing, since you can watch an evening game and still walk around the city later. Temperatures are usually comfortable, though a rain jacket is wise, and evenings can be cool near the water. Midsummer festivities are an important cultural moment in Finland, Sweden and Lithuania, and local services can be reduced around the holiday, so check opening hours and transport schedules. Pack light layers, sun protection and a sleep mask if you are sensitive to light. These practical details can make a real difference to your enjoyment of a multi-city trip. If you are travelling with children, the long evenings are a bonus, because games and sightseeing both fit comfortably into the day.

Why EuroBasket 2027 matters for French and Spanish fans

For supporters in France and Spain, the championship is a major date even though we cannot yet say who will qualify. Both countries have a strong tradition in European women's basketball: France have been regular contenders for the podium, and Spain have long been among the continent's powers. We keep that general, because we do not have verified squad lists or results to cite. What matters for the fan is that qualification is still in progress, and the teams that earn a place will be known in time for the draw. If your national team qualifies, you can follow it through the group phase in one of the four cities and then decide whether to travel on to Vilnius for the knockout stage. The basketball trips guide shows how this fits into a wider season plan, and the basketball calendar shows where June sits. Wherever your team ends up, the knockout rounds in Vilnius will be the climax of the fortnight.

Tickets and budget for EuroBasket 2027

The sale dates for EuroBasket Women 2027 have not been verified, so there is no official ticket information to report yet. What we can say is how events of this kind generally work: organisers usually offer passes or packages for a group of games, individual tickets by session and a separate range of seats for the final. Prices for women's continental tournaments have historically been modest compared with men's events, but we do not publish a grid because none exists in our sources. As a rough indicative budget, a long weekend in one host city including flights, accommodation and a handful of games might come to 400 to 1,000 euros, while a multi-city trip across the two weeks would cost considerably more. Treat these as estimates only. The best protection is to sign up for the alert, to buy through the official seller and to keep refundable bookings until the draw. Also remember that sessions often combine two games, so one ticket can give you a long afternoon or evening of basketball.

Getting the most from EuroBasket 2027 as a visitor

Whatever your plan, a few habits will help. Start by picking one anchor, either your national team or the final in Vilnius, and build the rest of the trip around it. Check entry requirements for the countries you will cross, because the Schengen area covers all four hosts but non-European visitors may need specific documents. Use public transport in the host cities, which is efficient and often included in matchday tickets, and prepare for card-based payments, which are widely used across the region. Leave time for the local food and culture, since the combination is what makes a multi-country tournament special. Finally, remember that women's basketball offers an accessible, family-friendly atmosphere, with lower prices and better views than many major events. Combine your visit with other 2027 events by looking at our basketball calendar and planning pages. A small notebook or phone note listing each booking and its cancellation terms will save headaches.

EuroBasket Women 2027 FAQ: dates, host cities and tickets

The following answers cover what readers ask most about the tournament. The facts that are certain are the dates, the four co-hosts, the role of Vilnius and the automatic qualification of Belgium. The facts that are not yet known are the full list of teams, the group draw, the ticket sale dates and the prices. We state this clearly, so you can distinguish between what you can rely on and what is still in progress. If you want to hear about each change as it happens, the free alert at the top of the page sends one email per announcement. The links in the text lead to other guides covering the calendar and travel, which are updated whenever new information is released by the organisers. They are meant to be read quickly and to help you decide what to do next. We update every answer as soon as the organisers publish something new, so a revisit before booking is worthwhile.

When and where is EuroBasket Women 2027?

The tournament runs from 16 to 27 June 2027, as the 41st edition of the championship. It is co-hosted by four countries: Belgium in Antwerp, Finland in Espoo, Lithuania in Vilnius and Sweden in Stockholm. The group phase is played in all four cities, and the knockout stage and the final are held in Vilnius. Belgium qualified automatically as co-hosts, while all other places are being decided through the qualifying competition. The draw and the detailed fixture list have not been published. If you are planning leave, you can book the last two weeks of June with confidence, and then fine-tune your plan once the organisers publish the match schedule and the venues for each group. Allow an extra day on either side for travel, particularly if you cross several borders. With four cities involved, double-check which one hosts the group you want before booking. Plan with care. Check the official schedule once it is released for any change to match times.

Which teams will play at EuroBasket 2027?

Only Belgium are confirmed, as co-hosts, and we do not list any other qualified team because the qualification process is still under way. Strong European nations such as France and Spain are expected to feature in the picture, but nothing is certain until the games are played. The organisers will confirm the final list of participants once qualification ends, and the group draw will follow. If you want to follow a specific country, the best approach is to check its national federation and to use the free alert, which will tell you when your team has secured its place. Until then, treat predictions and lists with caution. It is equally sensible to avoid building a trip around a team before it has actually qualified. Remember that qualification can come down to the final window, so a place that looks safe today may not be settled until the last game is played.

How can I buy EuroBasket Women 2027 tickets?

Ticket information has not been announced, and no sale date has been verified. When it is published, expect an official seller operated by the organisers, with passes for groups of games, tickets by session and a separate offer for the final in Vilnius. Prices will be set by the organisers, so any figure you see now is an estimate. Our indicative budget for a long weekend in one city, including flights, accommodation and a few games, is in the range of 400 to 1,000 euros. Buy only through the official seller, use a protected payment method and keep flexible bookings until the group draw is made. Sign up for the alert to learn about the sale as soon as it opens. Official prices may differ from our estimate, so use it only as a planning guide. If a ticket offer appears before the organisers announce the sale, treat it with caution and wait for the official confirmation.
