Great EuroCup clash in the heart of London

London Lions and ratiopharm Ulm are preparing to play, on 21 January 2026 at 19:30 at Copper Box Arena, one of those EuroCup games that can very easily determine the further course of the season for both teams. It is a matchup of Round 15 of the 2025/2026 EuroCup, bringing together a representative of the rising British basketball scene and a proven German club from one of Europe’s strongest leagues. After 12 rounds played in Group B, both teams have an identical win–loss record and are looking for a way to catch up to the positions that lead to the playoffs, which is why every next appearance gains weight. The London crowd has already grown accustomed to the Lions’ attractive style of play and the special atmosphere in the arena, and Ulm’s arrival brings another international challenge and an opportunity to see how much the home side has progressed compared with earlier European campaigns. Fan interest is growing from week to week, so tickets for this game are in very high demand—if you already know you want to be part of this evening of European basketball, don’t wait until the last moment; secure your tickets for this matchup in time and get ready for a true basketball spectacle in London.

Fight for important points in Group B

Group B of this season’s EuroCup is extremely tight, and London Lions and Ulm are right in that densely packed part of the table where one win can mean a jump of several places, but also open the possibility of staying in the race for the knockout phase right until the very end of the regular season. The 5–7 record that both teams carry into this clash doesn’t look impressive on paper, but it should be kept in mind that this is a competition in which it is enough to find the right rhythm in the closing stretch in order to grab a ticket for the continuation of the European story. Ulm comes to London with additional confidence because, in the first head-to-head meeting this season on their home court, they prevailed in a dramatic finish by just one point, so this game will be a chance for the German team to confirm the advantage and for the Lions a chance for a sporting revenge in front of their own fans. A special charm to the matchup is added by the statistical picture: Ulm are among the more efficient offenses in the group with an average above 80 points scored per game, while the Lions are somewhat weaker offensively, but rely on a solid defense and rebounding control. All of this points to another uncertain contest in which spectators in the stands could witness yet another finish decided in the final possessions—a real lure for everyone considering buying tickets for this game.

London Lions – the face of the new British basketball wave

Over the last few years, London Lions have become a symbol of the new wave of British basketball, dominating the domestic league and appearing ever more boldly on the European stage. A string of convincing seasons in the British championship, with impressive win ratios and titles, has given them the status of a local force, and a strong showing in previous editions of the EuroCup has shown that the club wants to establish itself permanently among the more serious European participants. This season’s roster blends experience and energy: the backcourt is led by Kameron McGusty, one of the key engines of the game who combines penetration, shooting, and the ability to take responsibility in crunch time, while experienced guards such as Chasson Randle and Tarik Phillip add ball stability and a threat from three-point range. On the wing positions and under the rim, Ryan Mikesell, Aaryn Rai, Deane and Johnathan Williams, and the energetic rebounder Joel Scott stand out, so the Lions have enough size and depth to cope with physical teams like Ulm. Coach Petar Božić emphasizes aggressive defense, transition offense, and smart use of advantages in the post, and EuroCup statistics reveal that the Lions convert two-point shots very well, while the free-throw line remains a segment where they can still make significant progress. That is precisely why the atmosphere in the stands can be decisive—thunderous support often helps players make up for a missed free throw or a bad stretch, so those who grab tickets for this European night will have a chance to directly influence the energy that is created on the court.

ratiopharm Ulm – a German talent factory that lives on a high tempo

For years, ratiopharm Ulm have been synonymous with a modern German club that successfully combines the development of young players with competitive ambitions in the Bundesliga and the EuroCup. Their results from recent seasons show continuity: regular appearances in the German league playoffs, notable European campaigns, and the reputation of a team that very often finds and develops players capable of a step up to the biggest European clubs or even the NBA. In the current season, Ulm’s main stars are forward Chris Ledlum, who leads the team in points and is often the first option in one-on-one offense, and center Christian Sengfelder, the man with the highest efficiency rating on the team and a pillar of play under the baskets. Alongside them, Mark Smith is very important as a dangerous perimeter scorer, playmaker Tobias Jensen who reads the game excellently and dishes out almost five assists per game, and Nelson Weidemann whose three-point shot further stretches the floor on offense. The statistics say that Ulm score significantly more points than the Lions, that their three-point and free-throw percentages are among the better ones in the group, and that at the same time they can take more risks on defense because they have a deep roster for a high tempo. The German team will not come to London just to tick off an away game—they enter every European match as an opportunity for a step forward and the creation of a winning mentality, so their fan groups traveling to England will also look for their place in the stands of Copper Box Arena. That is precisely why Lions fans who want to drown out the visitors have an extra motive to secure tickets in time and fill the arena to the last seat.

Tactical dilemmas and key battles on the court

Looking through the numbers, it is clear that one of the tactical turning points of this game will be the pace: Ulm, with an average above 80 points per game, prefers fast basketball, lots of transition, and early shot execution through pick-and-roll and outside shooting, while the Lions, although they also like to run, look better when they manage to slow the opponent down, force a half-court attack, and use the physical strength of their big men. In the season so far, London have an excellent two-point shooting percentage, which shows that they use players like Johnathan Williams, Deane Williams, and Joel Scott very well in low-post situations and as rollers after the pick, while Ulm have an advantage in three-point and free-throw accuracy, where players like Weidemann and Jensen punish any leaving of open space. In addition, both teams have a slightly elevated number of turnovers per game, which means that pressure on the ball-handlers and smart use of fouls will play a big role—every won ball and easy points in transition could be the difference between victory and defeat. Particularly intriguing will be the duels on the perimeter, where McGusty and Randle will look for their offensive opportunities against Ledlum, Smith, and Jensen, while under the rims there will be a fight for rebounds and position between Williams, Scott, and Sengfelder. Spectators in the stands will be able to feel from up close how every small adjustment—a change of defensive scheme, a matchup switch, or a run of made threes—shifts the momentum of the game, which is another reason for basketball lovers to consider buying tickets to see this clash live instead of following the broadcast on a screen.

Copper Box Arena – the hall that became the home of London basketball

Copper Box Arena was built for the London 2012 Olympic Games and since then has turned into one of the most recognizable sports venues in the city, but also into a symbol of the revival of British basketball. The arena is located within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and thanks to retractable stands and a smart architectural solution it can host up to around 7,500 spectators, while for basketball games the capacity most often is around 6,000 seats, arranged very close to the court. Because of its specific acoustics, fans and players have nicknamed it “the box that rocks”—once the stands fill up, the noise and chanting multiply and create an atmosphere that often acts like an extra player on the home side’s behalf. London Lions have played their key games in the arena since 2013, and in that period the Copper Box has seen a series of domestic titles, European wins, and important moments in the club’s history. For spectators, it is especially attractive that from almost every seat there is a clear view of the floor, without large gaps between the stands and the sidelines, so even those who buy tickets a bit farther from the court still feel very close to the action. That is precisely why, for games like this one against Ulm, a very good turnout is expected, and tickets for more attractive sections can sell out well before the day of the game—if you want to experience a real London basketball buzz, buy tickets via the button below and secure your place in Copper Box Arena in time.

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the London context of the game

Located in east London, in the neighborhoods of Stratford and Hackney Wick, Copper Box Arena is surrounded by one of the most interesting urban spaces in the city—Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It is a large park and sports complex created for the Olympic Games, and today it is open to citizens and visitors and offers a blend of green areas, canals, contemporary architecture, and numerous facilities for recreation and entertainment. Nearby are London Stadium, home of the football club West Ham United, as well as the Aquatics Centre and the media center, while from the park rises the ArcelorMittal Orbit, a recognizable art installation and lookout point offering a view of the entire complex. Fans who come to London from other parts of Great Britain or from abroad can easily fit the game into a broader plan of visiting the city: a walk in the park, a climb up the Orbit, a quick shopping trip or lunch in the large shopping center in Stratford, and evening basketball at the Copper Box make a perfect sports-tourism package. The London district where the arena is located has undergone a strong transformation in recent years, so in the surrounding streets you can find modern cafés, bars, and art studios, which offers visitors additional options before or after the game. For many, therefore, tickets for the Lions–Ulm matchup will be more than an ordinary game ticket—they will serve as a повод for a full-day trip to one of the liveliest parts of contemporary London.

How to get to Copper Box Arena and practical tips for fans

One of the advantages of Copper Box Arena is excellent transport connectivity, which makes it much easier for fans to get to the London Lions–Ulm game. The arena’s address is Copper Box Arena, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London E20 3HB, and the nearest train station is Hackney Wick on the London Overground line, just a few minutes’ walk away. On the other side of the park there are also the major transport hubs Stratford and Stratford International, where the Underground, national rail lines, and the DLR connect, so fans from other parts of London, as well as from the rest of the United Kingdom, can easily transfer and reach the park in a short time. In addition to the railway, there is also bus line 388 which runs from Stratford toward the city center and stops right next to the arena, and visitors also have numerous cycling paths and more than a hundred bicycle racks available, including docking stations for city bikes. Since the park was designed with an emphasis on public transport, parking options in the immediate vicinity of the arena are limited, so drivers are usually recommended to use larger garages in the Stratford and park area, from which it then takes about ten to fifteen minutes on foot. The doors of Copper Box Arena on game day generally open about an hour before tip-off, which is enough time to pass the security check, find your seat, and buy refreshments; for this reason, fans are advised to buy tickets in advance via the button below the text and to plan arrival so that they can, without rushing, enjoy the warm-up and atmosphere before the opening toss.

The stands experience for families and the most passionate fans

Copper Box Arena is designed to simultaneously meet the needs of the most passionate supporters and families who come to the game with children, so the stands experience is very diverse, but always intense. On one side of the arena, the loudest Lions supporter groups usually gather with drums, flags, and songs, while in the other sections you can enjoy the game in a somewhat calmer atmosphere, which is ideal for spectators who want to follow the tactical nuances of the contest in more detail. During time-outs and at halftime, various entertainment activities are often organized—from fan shooting contests to dance group performances—so the arena rarely falls silent, and children especially enjoy the energy of the mascot and on-court interaction. Thanks to the steep rake of the stands and the compact layout, those who choose tickets in the higher rows also have a good view of the court, while lovers of an intense experience can look for seats closer to the benches where every coaching instruction and player reaction can be heard. For many visitors, it is precisely the combination of quality basketball and a sense of togetherness in the arena that is the reason they keep coming back to Lions games—once you feel what the finale of a European game in a packed Copper Box Arena looks like, it is easy to understand why fans often say that buying tickets for such matchups is one of the best sports investments of the year.

An evening to remember for all basketball lovers

The London Lions–ratiopharm Ulm clash in January 2026 is much more than an ordinary EuroCup group-stage game: it is a collision of two clubs that in their environments symbolize ambition and growth, and also a clash of styles—British physical toughness and German offensive creativity. Both teams enter this matchup with an identical record and are aware that a victory over a direct competitor can open the door to the playoff race, which is why maximum intensity is expected from the first minute, frequent tempo changes, and numerous tactical adjustments. Names such as Kameron McGusty, Chris Ledlum, Christian Sengfelder, Tarik Phillip, or Joel Scott guarantee high individual quality, while the statistics suggest that we could see a game in which both teams cross the 80-point mark, with plenty of threes and drives to the basket. From the stands, all of that will be experienced in a completely different way than in front of a screen: every rebound, every fight for the ball, and every moment of silence before free throws in the final minutes will be felt, and the memory of the atmosphere in a packed arena will remain long after the lights go out. Tickets for such matchups often become a topic of conversation among fans—those who were there talk about what it was like, and those who missed it regret not taking the opportunity—so, if you love live sport and want to experience firsthand what modern European basketball in London means, reserve 21 January for a trip to Copper Box Arena and buy tickets via the button below so that you secure your place in time for one of the most interesting basketball evenings of the season.
