ALBA BERLIN and NINERS Chemnitz face pivotal European fixtures this week as the 2026 basketball calendar accelerates, with SYNTAINICS MBC simultaneously opening their European North Basketball League campaign against the Bristol Flyers on Tuesday at 19:00 local time (18:00 UTC), as reported by easyCredit BBL.
Berlin Hosts Igokea Amid Rosters Gaps
ALBA BERLIN returns to Basketball Champions League action on Tuesday at 20:00 local time (19:00 UTC) hosting Bosnian powerhouse Igokea m:tel Aleksandrovac at the Uber Arena.
Tuesday’s matchup carries additional emotional resonance through a high-profile reunion with former fan favorite Dragan Milosavljevic. The 37-year-old Serbian veteran, who joined ALBA in 2015 under then-coach Sasa Obradovic and famously secured the 2016 German Cup with a game-winning shot in Munich, returns to face his former club after recovering from pre-season injuries. Magenta Sport holds the broadcasting rights for the fixture, with Michael Körner providing live commentary starting at 19:50 local time.
Chemnitz Travels to Trento for EuroCup Test
NINERS Chemnitz visits Italian side Dolomiti Energia Trento on Tuesday at 20:00 local time (19:00 UTC) in BKT EuroCup Group C play. Both clubs advanced to the Round of 16 last season but share identical uncertainty regarding their continental trajectories following mixed opening results.
Chemnitz continues its continental campaign seeking consistency after splitting its opening EuroCup fixtures.
Weißenfels Opens ENBL Season Against Bristol
SYNTAINICS MBC begins its European North Basketball League schedule on Tuesday at 19:00 local time welcoming the Bristol Flyers to Weißenfels. With the ENBL reducing its field from 26 to 18 teams and previous contenders Dziki Warsaw and Manchester shifting to the FIBA Europe Cup, the Wolves look to claim the international title that eluded them during last season’s Final Four. The Bristol Flyers arrive in Germany riding strong form in the British SLB, highlighted by a 78:73 victory in Leicester where guard Davion Bailey recorded 27 points. Longtime coach Andreas Kapoulas commands a roster featuring playmakers Cameron Holden and Zach Anderson, alongside twins Marcus and Malcolm Delpeche patrolling the paint. The ENBL streams all competition matches directly via its official homepage and YouTube channel.
