The EASL is set to host the second edition of its postseason in Macau, highlighting its commitment to expanding its presence in the Greater Bay Area.

Known for its modern infrastructure and strong sports scene in the GBA, the Macau SAR is considered as one of the ideal locations to host major events, providing convenience and a unique cultural atmosphere combined with excellent travel connections and top-notch hospitality.

Set to take place at Studio City Event Center of Melco Resorts and Entertainment, the top four teams in the preliminaries will face off in a knockout affair to determine a new champion.

On March 7, these four teams will face off in a semifinal doubleheader, with the winners advancing into the championship game a couple of days later on March 9. The losing semifinalists will tangle in the third place game on the same date.

EASL Champions get a US $1 million in prize purse, with the runner-up securing US $500,000. Finishing in third nets US $250,000.

In making the announcement, league Chief Executive Officer Henry Kerins says, "EASL is beyond excited to announce that the EASL Final Four 2025 will be held in Macau SAR, a region that has become a cornerstone of our expansion in the GBA. This milestone reflects our deep commitment to the region and to showcasing premium basketball as a driver of economic growth, cultural vitality, and community engagement. Macau’s modern infrastructure and passionate fan base make it the perfect destination to host this high-stakes event, and we can’t wait to see the energy it will bring to the region."

On the end of Melco and Studio City, Melco Senior Vice President and Studio City Property General Manager Kevin Benning adds, "Melco and Studio City are committed to offering innovative and inspirational tourism and entertainment experiences to residents and guests from around the world. We are thrilled to be collaborating with EASL to bring such top-tier Asian basketball matchups once more to Studio City Event Center. We look forward to continuing our support for EASL in elevating Asian basketball in the Greater Bay Area."

In addition, the league is highlighting a couple of its partners who have served as its main sponsors.

Spalding remains to be the provider of basketballs for all of its 34 league matches, cementing its role as a trusted brand for the league.

Jeju Samdasoo has served as the league's official water partner this season in all markets except in Okinawa and Macau, quenching the thirst of players and fans with its premium bottled water.
