Euroleague Basketball has officially announced the implementation of the Competitive Balance Standards (CBS), a comprehensive set of regulations designed to enhance the current Financial Stability & Fair Play Regulations (FSFPR). The new measures, set to take effect in the 2025-26 season, aim to strengthen financial sustainability, promote competitive balance, prevent inappropriate practices, and increase transparency among participating clubs, while aligning all stakeholders’ objectives.

This framework establishes a structured compensation system to maintain financial equilibrium, while harmonizing the impact of the different taxation models coexisting in the League by valuing the indicators on net amounts. The 2025-26 season marks the initial phase of a progressive implementation process, culminating in full implementation by the 2027-28 season.
