2021–22 EuroLeague

The 2021–22 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague was the 22nd season of the modern era of the EuroLeague, and the 12th under the title sponsorship of the Turkish Airlines. Including the competition's previous incarnation as the FIBA Europe Champions Cup, this was the 65th season of the premier basketball competition for European men's clubs. The season started on 30 September 2021. The three Russian teams were suspended because of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. As the Russian invasion of Ukraine did not cease, the records of all regular season matches against Russian teams were annulled, and team win-loss records adjusted accordingly, dramatically affecting league standings.

Anadolu Efes successfully defended last year's title after defeating Real Madrid in the championship game.

Regulations
When more than two teams are tied, the ranking was established taking into account the victories obtained in the games played only among them. Should the tie persist among some, but not all, of the teams, the ranking of the teams still tied was determined by again taking into account the victories in the games played only among them, and repeating this same procedure until the tie is entirely resolved. If a tie persists, the ranking was determined by the goal difference in favour and against in the games played only among the teams still tied.

Results
1Participation of Russian teams is suspended due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, in accordance with the decision of the Euroleague Commercial Assets (ECA) Shareholders Executive Board of 28 February.
