Hapoel Tel Aviv Ranked Sixth in EuroLeague, Maccabi Tel Aviv 13th
As the 2026-27 EuroLeague season approaches, Basket News has released its team rankings, revealing a significant gap between the two Tel Aviv clubs. Hapoel Tel Aviv secured a respectable sixth place, while Maccabi Tel Aviv fell outside the top ten, ranked thirteenth.
Hapoel Tel Aviv achieved direct qualification to the playoffs in their debut EuroLeague season, overcoming a turbulent season and playing their home games away from their usual venue. Following this successful campaign, the club focused on building upon their established foundation during the summer. Basket News highlighted Zach LeDay and Tomáš Satoranský as key additions for Hapoel in the upcoming season.
Regarding Maccabi Tel Aviv, despite the departure of Lonnie Walker, the team made several significant moves over the summer. Basket News noted the return of Bonzie Colson, the acquisition of Daniel Theis from Villeurbanne, and the signing of Yam Madar from city rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv. Nevertheless, the media outlet explained that the constructed roster has not yet convinced the rankers enough to place the Yellows within the top ten.
