Valencia Basket has won its second championship title in the Liga Endesa. On Wednesday, June 24, the team led by Pedro Martínez routed Barcelona in the fourth game of the final series, closing out the matchup 3:1. The victory was an emphatic one: after building a large lead in the second quarter, Valencia confidently controlled the course of the game until the final buzzer, responding to every attempt by the hosts to put up resistance.

The key players of the final were Jean Montero, Cameron Taylor, Omari Moore, and Braxton Key.

On Thursday, June 25, the club is inviting fans to a free celebration in the main hall of the Roig Arena. Doors open at 7:00 p.m., and the official ceremony will begin at 8:00 p.m. Admission is free until the hall is full — through gates C (stands) and D (court). Fans can look forward to appearances by the players and coaching staff, music, exclusive locker-room footage, and other surprises. A separate prize draw will be held among those who travelled to Barcelona to support the team in the decisive game.

Alongside the celebration, the club has released the official commemorative jersey of the 2026 Liga Endesa champions. The price is 25 euros. It can be bought in the club's online store and at the official Roig Arena shop.
