EuroLeague Basketball announced the calendar for the upcoming playoffs, which will tip off on Tuesday, April 19.
Pairings are already set for two of the four best-of-five series. FC Barcelona, which finished first in the regular season, will face off against eighth-placed FC Bayern Munich, while regular season runner-up Olympiacos Piraeus will battle against seventh-placed AS Monaco, a playoffs debutant.
The rest of the EuroLeague playoff field consists of third-place Armani Milano, fourth-place Real Madrid, the defending champion Anadolu Efes and Maccabi Tel-Aviv.
The exact parings between those four teams won’t be determined until Wednesday, April 13, after the final regular season game, in which Maccabi hosts already-eliminated Fenerbahce in a rescheduled EuroLeague Round 23 contest.
