Bayern and Valencia in Munich: a showdown that could change the EuroLeague story

The EuroLeague basketball scene moves to Munich, where FC Bayern Munich will host Valencia Basket on 22 January 2026 at 20.30 in Round 24 of the 2025./2026. season, in a game that already looks like a clash of two worlds. On one side is Valencia, currently at the top of the standings after two thirds of the regular season, with an impressive winning streak and an attacking style that fills up scoreboards. On the other is Bayern, a team that had long been sliding toward the bottom of the table, but with a coaching change and a run of important wins has announced a fight to get back into the playoff picture. Adding extra weight is the fact that Valencia recently blew Bayern away in Roig Arena, so this meeting in Munich will also carry the flavor of revenge in front of full stands in the modern SAP Garden arena in the Olympic Park. For fans, that means a special night where sporting stubbornness, big names of European basketball, and an atmosphere that only a packed arena can create—filled with supporters who secured their tickets in time—come together. Secure your tickets for this matchup now and experience EuroLeague basketball from the front row, in a city that is increasingly living for basketball, not only for football.

Current standings: Valencia on top, Bayern chasing the connection

This season’s EuroLeague format with twenty clubs and a long regular season in a double round-robin points system leaves little room for mistakes, and the standings after nineteen games played clearly show who is on the right track so far. Valencia currently holds first place with a record of thirteen wins and six losses, with a positive point differential and a particularly impressive home-court performance, where it has lost only one game. Bayern, by contrast, sits at the bottom of the standings, in nineteenth place, with a record of six wins and thirteen losses, but with a small glimmer of hope after managing to end a long run of failures. In a league where the first ten teams go to the playoffs and play-in, every next game—especially against the leading team—has almost double value for the Bavarians. A win over Valencia would not only bring them an important triumph, but also a psychological boost, while for the Spaniards it would serve to further solidify their place on top and send a message to the competition that they must be counted on in the title race. All of that increases interest in tickets, because it is clear that Munich will host a game that can change the momentum of the entire season.

Numbers don’t lie: Valencia’s attacking machine vs Bayern searching for rhythm

When you look at the raw statistics of this EuroLeague season, it is immediately clear why Valencia is considered the favorite in Munich. The Spanish team scores on average close to ninety points per game, which places it among the very top of the league’s most powerful offenses, while also controlling the rebound excellently, with almost six more rebounds per game than Bayern. Their outside shooting works at very high levels, with a three-point percentage hovering around thirty-seven percent, so opposing defenses can rarely take the risk of closing off only the paint. Bayern, on the other hand, scores around seventy-eight points per game, which statistically makes it one of the weakest offenses in the competition, although defensively it holds a decent level and often stays in games for a long time thanks to ball pressure and control of the defensive rebound. That combination suggests a clash of styles: Valencia’s fluid pick and roll, quick transition into offense, and a wide range of shooters against Bayern’s attempt to slow the tempo, bring the game down to a lower number of points, and impose physical contact. From the stands, it is an ideal mix—fans who get tickets for this game can expect tactically interesting chess, alongside bursts of attractive attacking solutions from Valencia and explosive responses from the Bavarians when they catch their rhythm.

Head-to-head history: Valencia’s dominance and Bayern’s motive for revenge

The history of head-to-head meetings between these two teams in EuroLeague competition in recent years has heavily favored Valencia, which further increases the stakes of the showdown in Munich. The statistics say Valencia has won eleven meetings, while Bayern has recorded only three wins, and especially fresh in memory is the convincing triumph of the Spaniards in late November 2025, when the home team won in Roig Arena by a huge ninety to sixty-four. Valencia then completely broke Bayern in the second half, forced it into poor shooting decisions, and punished every defensive mistake, while the Bavarians looked without ideas and energy. Even earlier, in March 2024, the Spaniards won in a dramatic finish by the narrowest margin, seventy to sixty-eight, while Bayern last won in late 2023 by one point, which only confirms how their matchups are often uncertain and decided by a single possession. Such history creates additional emotional charge around the game in SAP Garden, because the German team in front of its fans wants to show it is not in the elite society by accident and that it can stand up equally to the table-leading side. Tickets for this game are disappearing fast, so buy your tickets in time and secure your seat in the arena instead of following this potential thriller only on a screen.

Bayern’s assets: Lucić, Obst and Dinwiddie in front of their home crowd

Despite the weaker overall performance, Bayern has enough individual quality in its ranks to change the balance of power on one night and bring down the favorite. Captain Vladimir Lucic remains the face of the team, a player who with his experience and toughness keeps the locker room together and takes responsibility in key moments, whether it is a drive, a three-point shot, or an offensive rebound. In the backcourt, Andreas Obst stands out in particular, a European champion with the German national team, known for streaks of threes that can completely change the course of a game in a few minutes, which he already proved this season in a win over Crvena zvezda when he scored over thirty points. At the point guard position, Bayern relies on NBA returnee Spencer Dinwiddie, who brings an additional dimension in offense, the ability to create one-on-one situations, and the experience of playing big games at the highest level. In the frontcourt, Oscar da Silva and David McCormack play important roles, combining mobility and strength under the basket, and they must deal with Valencia’s deep rotation of big men. Spectators who decide to buy tickets for this game will have a chance to see up close how that mix of experience, shooting talent, and athleticism tries to bring down Europe’s leading team, which is a completely different experience from watching the broadcast at home.

Valencia’s leaders: Thompson, Montero and a deep rotation of attacking weapons

Valencia arrives in Munich with a squad built precisely for games like this, aiming to take a step forward compared to previous seasons and attack the EuroLeague finishing stages. American playmaker Darius Thompson, once a member of Baskonia and Anadolu Efes, arrived as one of the summer’s most high-profile signings and immediately took on the role of the creator who dictates the tempo, connects teammates, and regularly finishes games with double-digit points and assists. Alongside him has also risen Jean Montero, an explosive guard who in the Spanish league has already had games with over twenty points and key plays in finishes, confirming that he can take responsibility on the biggest stage as well. Wings such as Kameron Taylor and Xabier Lopez Arostegui bring a combination of defense across multiple positions and a threat in transition, while the center line with players like Matt Costello, Nate Reuvers, Neal Sako, and Yankuba Sima ensures a constant presence under the basket, both in rebounding and in shot-blocking. Such roster depth allows the coach to maintain a high tempo throughout the entire game, rotate more than ten players without a noticeable drop in quality, and constantly look for a mismatch to punish. For spectators in SAP Garden, that means ninety minutes of constant pressure on both ends of the court, and those who secure tickets for this showdown in time will have the opportunity to witness live how one of the continent’s most attractive teams tries to confirm its leader status on the road as well.

Pešić’s Bayern against Valencia’s pace: a tactical clash at the highest level

The arrival of Svetislav Pešić on Bayern’s bench marked the beginning of a new chapter in the Bavarians’ season, even though results in EuroLeague competition did not immediately start moving upward. One of the most experienced coaches in European basketball is known for insisting on tough defense, tempo control, and a disciplined offense in which everyone knows their role, which has already produced an effect in a convincing win against Maccabi in SAP Garden that ended a losing streak. Against Valencia he will try exactly that—slow the Spaniards down, force them into set offense, and limit their transition, because it is clear that a team scoring close to ninety points per game most likes to play on the run and use its offensive width advantage early. The key will be how much Bayern can close down the pick and roll game of Thompson and Montero, prevent easy corner baskets by Taylor and Lopez Arostegui, and keep balance on the boards against Valencia’s deep center rotation. On the other side, the visitors will certainly try to exploit the fact that Bayern needs time to fully adopt Pešić’s ideas, so with aggressive perimeter defense they will try to break the home team’s organization and force them into difficult shots in the last seconds of possessions. For fans who get tickets, this will be a chance to watch a real coaching duel live, where every timeout, every defensive change, or special inbound play can decide the outcome—and such nuances are felt much more intensely from the stands than in front of a screen.

SAP Garden: Munich’s new basketball stage

The Bayern–Valencia game is played in SAP Garden, the newest sports arena in Munich and one of the most modern facilities of its kind in Europe. Located in the northern part of the Olympic Park, SAP Garden opened in 2024 and became the shared home of Bayern’s basketball team and the EHC Red Bull München hockey team, with a capacity of up to eleven and a half thousand spectators for basketball games. The arena stands out for its steep stands that bring fans closer to the court, a large central videoboard, and modern lighting that enables spectacular intros and special light effects before and during games. In addition to sports content, the complex includes numerous food and beverage points, a fan shop, and spaces for fans to socialize before and after games, turning every evening in SAP Garden into a complete experience, not just a visit to a game. As Bayern has fully moved from the old BMW Park to this new basketball home, matchups against big rivals like Valencia are especially sought after among fans, but also among neutral basketball lovers who want to get to know the new arena. Buy tickets via the button below and experience SAP Garden from the inside—from the players’ first emergence from the tunnel to the last possession in a dramatic finish, everything looks completely different when you are part of the crowd, not just an observer in front of the television.

Getting to SAP Garden: tips for fans and visitors

For everyone planning a trip to Munich because of the game, or already living in the city and heading to SAP Garden for the first time, it is important to know that the arena is located within the Olympic Park and is excellently connected by public transport. The easiest way to reach the arena is by subway lines that lead to the Olympiazentrum station, from where it is a few minutes’ walk through the park, and it is additionally connected by bus and tram lines that stop near Toni Merkens Weg street. For those arriving by car, a large multi-storey car park Parkharfe with several thousand parking spaces is located in the immediate vicinity, reached directly from the ring road Bundesstrasse 2R, which greatly facilitates arrival for visitors from other parts of the city or outside Munich. The recommendation is to arrive at the arena at least an hour before the start of the game, to avoid queues at the entrances, complete the security check, and have enough time to find your seat, get refreshments, or buy fan souvenirs. This especially applies to a matchup like this, where high demand for tickets is expected, so it is reasonable to plan your trip so that with a valid ticket on your phone or in physical form you enter the arena relaxed, without stress and unnecessary rushing.

Munich as a basketball destination: more than one game

Although in the sports world Munich is traditionally associated with the football giant from the nearby Allianz Arena, basketball has in recent years taken an increasingly important place in the city’s identity. The arrival of SAP Garden, the venue for major events such as the finals of the German Cup in basketball, has further raised the city’s profile as a basketball destination and attracted sports lovers from across Europe. The combination of a modern Olympic complex, the recognizable skyline with the Olympic Tower, and a rich food-and-drink offering around the park makes a visit to the game a perfect opportunity for a weekend trip that merges sport and tourism. Fans traveling in for the Bayern–Valencia matchup can during the day stroll around the Olympiasee lake, visit museums or the historic city center, and in the evening head to SAP Garden for top-level basketball. It is precisely this blend of experiences that makes buying tickets for this game much more than an ordinary sports decision—it is an opportunity to spend a few days in one of Europe’s most attractive cities, with elite sport as the main occasion. Tickets for such a sports-and-tourism package are planned in advance, so it is wise to think ahead in order to secure the best possible seat in the arena.

The impact of the game on the rest of the season for Bayern and Valencia

While Valencia arrives in Munich as a team whose form and performances are already sending a message that it wants to finish the regular season near the very top and with home-court advantage in later stages, for Bayern this game is one of the season’s key exams. Every win over the standings leader has double value, because it brings not only points but also confidence and a signal to the rest of the league that the Bavarians, despite a poor start, have not given up on the fight for one of the spots that lead to the playoffs and play-in. If they manage to use the support of SAP Garden’s stands, slow Valencia’s attack, and find hot scorers in Lucic, Obst, and Dinwiddie, Bayern could turn the course of the season and make this game a turning point. On the other hand, Valencia will want to confirm its dominance, show that its high place in the standings is not an accident, and that it can perform just as convincingly away from the comfort of its own arena. Precisely because of these opposing goals, every quarter, every offensive and defensive possession will carry special weight, and the atmosphere in the arena could play an important role. If you want to be part of a possible season breakthrough and witness a game that might later be retold as one of the key moments of the entire EuroLeague year, secure your tickets in time and take your place in SAP Garden when the ball goes up.
