Match Preview
London Lions host Siauliai Basketball of Lithuania at the Copper Box Arena on 17 November 2026 in a EuroCup group-stage home fixture — the return leg of a continental pairing that already features earlier in the season schedule. Siauliai are the leading basketball force in Lithuania outside the Vilnius clubs, a country with a formidable basketball culture and a tradition of producing technically excellent players for the highest level of the game. Lithuanian basketball in the EuroCup is invariably well-organised, fundamentals-first and deeply competitive — Siauliai will bring a squad built for the demands of European competition and a style that tests London’s defensive systems thoroughly. November Tuesday evenings at the Copper Box have established themselves as a reliable highlight of the east London sports calendar for basketball fans: the EuroCup stakes, the visiting European club and the intimate Copper Box atmosphere combine to make this one of the genuinely distinctive live sport experiences available in London. Stratford station, a 10-minute walk from the arena, serves the Underground, Overground, Elizabeth Line, DLR and National Rail — connecting the Copper Box to every corner of Greater London with ease. Tickets via Ticketmaster; StubHub and Viagogo list resale options. The chance to watch the Lions advance their EuroCup campaign with a home win at the Copper Box is one of London basketball’s most compelling regular-season fixtures.
