EuroLeague MVP

European men's basketball award

European men's basketball award

The EuroLeague MVP, or EuroLeague Regular Season MVP, is the award bestowed to the player that is deemed to be the "Most Valuable Player" during the regular season of the EuroLeague. The EuroLeague is the top-tier level European-wide men's professional club basketball league in Europe. The award has existed and been awarded by the EuroLeague since the 2004–05 season. It was originally awarded based on performance during league's regular season, top 16 stage, playoffs and/or play-in. Currently, it is awarded based solely on regular season performance.

So far, Anthony Parker is the only player who has won the award twice. Kendrick Nunn is the most recent winner of the award , winning it in 2025.

Selection criteria

The EuroLeague MVP award is the first and only full regular season MVP award that is voted on and given by the EuroLeague. Previous awards like the EuroLeague Group Stage MVP and the EuroLeague Top 16 Stage MVP awards were only for individual phases of the season, with the original Group Stage MVP award being based on the PIR stat, rather than on an actual voting process. When the EuroLeague MVP award was created, those previous awards were phased out altogether, and were replaced by the EuroLeague MVP of the Month award.

The EuroLeague MVP award is based on a voting process. Currently, online fan voting represents 25% of the vote total for the MVP award, while media voting accounts for the remaining 75%. Team success is unofficially paramount during the selection process. Since established, the award has only once gone to a player whose team did not reach the EuroLeague Final Four, when Mike James won the award for the 2023–24 season.

History

Starting with the 2004–05 season, the EuroLeague officially began giving out its Regular Season MVP award for the first time. Unlike the previous EuroLeague Group Stage MVP and EuroLeague Top 16 Stage MVP awards, this award encompasses the full regular season of the EuroLeague, up until the playoffs stage of the competition. Also, rather than being based on the PIR statistical formula, like the earlier EuroLeague Group Stage MVP award, the EuroLeague MVP award is based on a combination of online voting by fans and the media. The online fan vote comprises 25% of the vote total, while the media vote encompasses 75% of the vote total.
