Emlak arrives after its most recent result, an 85-76 home loss to Galatasaray on Thursday, March 26, 2026. The Turkish side will look to begin the new Euroleague Women schedule with a sharper defensive performance after that high-scoring setback.

The club also is set to visit Ormanspor on Saturday, Oct. 10, and Istanbul GSK on Saturday, Oct. 24, with CBK Mersin visiting on Saturday, Oct. 31.

Panathinaikos last played on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, falling 71-57 at Mersin. The Greek club will be at home for the Euroleague Women opener and will seek to use that home setting to establish early rhythm. After facing Emlak, Panathinaikos is scheduled to host PAOK on Sunday, Oct. 4, and then travel to Kavala on Sunday, Oct. 11, and Aris on Sunday, Oct. 18. Panathlitikos is set to visit on Sunday, Oct. 25, followed by a trip to Olympiacos on Saturday, Oct. 31.

The matchup presents contrasting recent endings. Emlak’s previous game produced 161 combined points, while Panathinaikos’ most recent contest finished with 128 combined points. Both teams will be working through early-season adjustments, with Euroleague Women play adding a different level of travel and opponent familiarity.
