The 2021–22 EuroLeague Women was the 64th edition of the European women's club basketball championship organized by FIBA, and the 26th edition since being rebranded as the EuroLeague Women. In February 2022, the Russian teams (UMMC Ekaterinburg, Dynamo Kursk, and MBA Moscow) were expelled from the tournament by FIBA for the Euroleague Women playoffs, and suspended, due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[1][2] Sopron Basket won its first-ever championship after defeating Fenerbahçe in the final of the Final Four.[3]
