Maccabi Ramat Gan and Hapoel Herzliya will kick off the 2026/2027 Israeli Basketball Premier League season on Monday evening at the Yuval Hall. The two teams have met six times since Ramat Gan returned to the Premier League in the 2023/2024 season, with the head-to-head record tied at 3-3.
Ramat Gan enters the new season with a significantly revamped roster. Coach Elad Hasin will lead a team that retains only three players from the previous season: new captain Gil Beni, Yonatan Attias, and young player Elai Gabay. All other players, both Israeli and foreign, are new additions.
"We started the Winner League games not as we wanted and did not succeed," said Ramat Gan player Lior Carara. "We believe we have a good team and continue to work hard to connect and realize our individual and team potential." He added, "We are a very cohesive team and our togetherness needs to bring out the professional potential of all of us. The burden of proof is on us. Our 'money time' starts tomorrow and we all come fully committed."
For Hapoel Herzliya, Lucas Goldenberg is set to make his debut for coach Yehou Orland's squad. The team will be without injured player Amit Menachem for the game.
