Event information

Overview of the Event

The EuroLeague Rising Star Award honors the most outstanding young player (under age 22 on July 1 of the competition year) who makes a meaningful impact during the regular season. Created to spotlight Europe’s next generation of elite talent, the award has helped launch the careers of future NBA and EuroLeague standouts.

Selection is based on individual production, maturity, team contribution, and consistency against top European competition. For bettors, the Rising Star market rewards young players with prominent rotational roles, upward developmental trajectories, and coaching systems that encourage offensive freedom and defensive responsibility.

The 2025/26 class features athletic guards, versatile forwards, and high-IQ playmakers poised to break out at the continental level.


Recent Winner & Context

The most recent Rising Star winner (2024/25 season) earned the award through strong all-around performance, advanced maturity, and a key role on a playoff-caliber roster. Historically, the award trends toward players who elevate rapidly within their team’s rotation and outperform expectations in high-level EuroLeague matchups.

Entering the 2025/26 season, several young players sit on the brink of expanded roles—making this one of the deepest Rising Star fields in recent years.
