About Greek Basket League
The Greek A1 Ethniki is the top professional basketball league in Greece. It's a 13-team competition that runs from October through June. The league is known for its passionate fans, hostile arenas, and the fierce rivalry between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos. The regular season is in the final stretch, with the playoffs coming up.
Top teams
Olympiacos and Panathinaikos are the two giants. Their rivalry, known as the Derby of the Eternal Enemies, is one of the biggest in European basketball. Both clubs have won multiple EuroLeague titles and dominate the domestic league. PAOK, AEK Athens, and Peristeri are the next tier — they fight for playoff spots and can upset the big two on a good day. The league is top-heavy, but the playoff format gives smaller clubs a shot.
Format
The league has 13 teams. Each plays each other twice in the regular season. The top eight teams advance to the playoffs. The quarterfinals and semifinals are best-of-five series. The final is a best-of-five series for the championship. The bottom two teams are relegated to the A2 league. The format rewards regular-season performance while leaving room for upsets.
Viewership
The league pulls around 2 million viewers annually in Greece. Olympiacos and Panathinaikos matches draw the biggest audiences. The playoff finals are the biggest event of the season. International interest comes from basketball fans who follow Greek clubs in the EuroLeague.

In Greece, ERTFLIX is the primary broadcaster for the league. The public broadcaster ERT shows over 170 matches for free on ERT2 and ERT Sports. Some matches may be locked behind ERT's digital platform, but the majority are free to watch.
International streaming options
