Great Britain Senior Men will be heading to Finland for EuroBasket 2025 this summer as they were drawn into Group B today at the official ceremony in Riga.

They will face opponents Germany, Lithuania, Montenegro, Finland, and Sweden in the group, which will be played in Tampere, Finland.

The 24 participating nations discovered their opponents for the upcoming 42nd edition of the flagship event after being sorted into four groups, according to the seedings which were based on the FIBA World Rankings.

The full groups are as follows:

Group A: Serbia, Latvia, Czechia, Türkiye, Estonia, Portugal
Group B: Germany, Lithuania, Montenegro, Finland, Great Britain, Sweden
Group C: Spain, Greece, Italy, Georgia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus
Group D: France, Slovenia, Poland, Israel, Belgium, Iceland

The four co-hosts were pre-assigned to their respective groups with Group A played in Riga, Latvia; Group B in Tampere, Finland; Group C in Limassol, Cyprus, and Group D in Katowice, Poland.

Each co-host was also able to select a partner country to be placed in the same group with agreements reached between Latvia and Estonia, Finland and Lithuania, Cyprus and Greece as well as Poland and Iceland.

FIBA EuroBasket 2025 gets underway with the Group Phase played from August 27 – September 5, before the Final Phase is held solely in the Latvian capital Riga from September 6-14.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
