For a second straight season, CSKA Moscow had their EuroLeague license rescinded for the season following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Real Madrid returned to the final after losing to Anadolu Efes the previous year to claim a record-extending eleventh title against Olympiacos at the Žalgirio Arena in Kaunas, ending a five-year drought since their last triumph in 2018. Madrid's Sergio Llull scored the winning shot with 3.1 seconds left on the clock in the championship game. Anadolu Efes were the defending champions, having won two straight titles, but were eliminated after finishing eleventh in the regular season.
