Key Dates & Matchups

October 2, 2024 – Season Tipoff

The EASL 2024-25 season gets underway with a thrilling double-header in Manila.

The San Miguel Beermen will open the season against Korean powerhouse Suwon KT Sonicboom.

In the late slate, the Meralco Bolts will seek redemption from a challenging previous season as they face EASL newcomers, the Macau Black Bears.

October 16, 2024 – Group B – Ryukyu Golden Kings vs. Meralco Bolts

A rematch of last season’s Clash of the Champions in Macau, where the Meralco Bolts stunned the Ryukyu Golden Kings in Studio City in an overtime thriller.

The Bolts' victory gave Meralco the first win from a Philippine side all season while putting a massive dent in Ryukyu’s hopes of making the Final Four.

Will Ryukyu avenge their costly loss last season, or does Meralco have their number?

December 11, 2024 – Mid-Season Classic

The EASL returns to Macau for the Mid-Season Classic featuring two exciting matchups.

The Taoyuan Pauian Pilots will take on Suwon KT Sonicboom, while the Macau Black Bears will host the New Taipei Kings, last season’s fourth-place finishers.

December 25, 2024 – Group B – Ryukyu Golden Kings vs. New Taipei Kings

The P. LEAGUE+ champions, New Taipei Kings, will travel to Okinawa to clash with B.LEAGUE runners-up, the Ryukyu Golden Kings.

The two teams split their previous encounters last season. However, New Taipei secured one more win in the Group Stage last season to beat out Ryukyu for a spot in the 2024 EASL Final Four.

Will the Golden Kings avenge their last season’s disappointments and come out stronger against the Kings?

Get ready for an action-packed season as the East Asia Super League sets the stage for a dramatic quest to crown the next champion of East Asia.
