Würzburg Baskets before the home game: This is the team's standing in the BBL 2025/2026 season

Fitness First Würzburg Baskets enter the final phase of the regular season as sixth in the standings – with an overall positive record, but recently visibly fluctuating form. Before the home game on May 2, 2026 against ratiopharm ulm, a stable season position meets the challenge of regaining consistency in performance.

After 31 games, Würzburg stands at 34 points with a record of 17 wins and 14 losses. This corresponds to a win rate of 54.8 percent and is currently enough for sixth place in the easyCredit Basketball Bundesliga.

The standings remain stable, but recent form does not

The place in the upper half of the table is still an argument, but the trend of recent weeks is slowing down the positive overall record. In the last ten games, Würzburg suffered six defeats – a figure that shows how tight the league is and how quickly a comfortable table position can come under pressure in the final phase of the regular season.

The most recent results also fit this pattern: The 80:66 home win against the SKYLINERS was followed by two defeats – an 81:90 at home against FC Bayern Munich Basketball and then a clear 52:83 away at SYNTAINICS MBC. The range between a controlled home win and a clear away collapse makes it clear what Würzburg will be measured by in the final tasks: the stability of game rhythm, intensity, and execution over 40 minutes.

Home strength and efficiency give Würzburg arguments

A reliable anchor remains the home record. Würzburg won ten games at home and lost five. Away, the picture is noticeably worse with seven wins and nine losses. For the game against ulm, this is more than a side note: In the tectake ARENA Würzburg (capacity: 3140), the team has so far scored much more reliably.

The team data also supports the impression that Würzburg basically has enough quality to win games in the upper table region:

• Offense: 81.2 points per game (opponents: 81.0)
• Assists: 16.8 per game (opponents: 16.6)
• Field goal percentage: 45.6% (opponents: 44.7%)

However, a small but relevant disadvantage on the boards is noticeable:

• Rebounds per game: 34.6 (opponents: 35.8)

Of a total of 2517 baskets this season, 1271 were scored in the home arena.

Squad structure and key players in recent results

The squad consists of 20 players with an average age of 25 years. The distribution stands for flexibility, but places high demands on role allocation and on who takes responsibility in tight phases:

• 9 guards
• 8 forwards
• 3 centers

In the most recent games, the following players stood out as top scorers:

• Home win against SKYLINERS: Marcus Carr (Würzburg top scorer)
• Defeat against FC Bayern Munich: Oscar da Silva (Bayern top scorer)
• Defeat at SYNTAINICS MBC: Khyri Thomas (MBC top scorer)

Now three important games follow in quick succession

The schedule leaves little room for adjustments. After the home game against ratiopharm ulm on May 2, the away game at Veolia Towers Hamburg follows on May 7, before the home game against MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg on May 10. All three games will be broadcast on DYN.

This phase is decisive for Würzburg, as it directly follows a series of two defeats. However, the starting position remains solid: sixth place, positive overall record, and a clear home advantage. The key will be whether the team can translate its slight advantages in efficiency, ball movement, and home production back into a more stable results line – and whether it can gain enough control on the boards to avoid losing close games due to additional opponent possessions.

Fitness First Würzburg Baskets have been playing in the Basketball Bundesliga since 2015. Head coach is Sasa Filipovski, supported by Dejan Mihevc and Marcin Wit.
