Final Eight 2027 – Quarter-Finals

The road to the Italian Basketball Cup begins at Inalpi Arena in Turin on 18 and 19 February 2027, when the Frecciarossa Final Eight opens with four quarter-final matches. Eight of Italy's leading basketball clubs will compete for a place in the semi-finals, with two games scheduled on Thursday and another two on Friday.

Fans looking for Final Eight 2027 quarter-finals tickets can choose between the two matchdays, Thursday 18 and Friday 19 February. In a four-day tournament, these opening encounters decide which clubs remain in contention for the Coppa Italia trophy.

Eight Teams, Four Quarter-Finals, Two Days

Qualification for the Final Eight is based on the Lega Basket Serie A standings at the end of the first half of the 2026/27 regular season.

The first two quarter-finals take place on Thursday, 18 February, followed by the remaining two on Friday, 19 February.

Each fixture is a single-elimination contest. There is no second leg or opportunity to recover from defeat. The winning team advances to Saturday's semi-finals, while the losing side leaves the competition.

The format creates a different challenge from the regular Serie A season. Teams must adapt quickly to their opponents, manage the pressure of knockout basketball and produce results without the safety net of a return fixture.

The First Step Towards the Coppa Italia Trophy

The 2027 tournament is played over four days, from Thursday to Sunday, bringing the quarter-finals, semi-finals and championship game together on consecutive days.

The opening round is particularly interesting because the eight qualifiers arrive with different league positions, expectations and recent results. Higher-ranked clubs may enter as favourites, but the Coppa Italia has a history of producing results that do not follow the regular-season standings.

The 2026 edition provided a clear example when Bertram Derthona Tortona defeated Umana Reyer Venezia 95–87 in the quarter-finals before progressing all the way to the championship game against EA7 Emporio Armani Milano.

For 2027, the identity of the participating teams and the precise match pairings will become clearer once the qualification process is complete.
