On Sunday, Žalgiris will battle Rytas backed by a full arena
The Žalgiris basketball team will face Rytas in a crucial match at Kaunas, expecting a full arena despite limited ticket availability.
This Sunday, Kaunas will host an exciting basketball match between local rivals Žalgiris and Rytas, with the game set to begin at 16:50. Tickets for this match are more limited than those for EuroLeague games, due to reduced seating capacity implemented for safety reasons. Doors for the arena will open at 15:20, providing fans ample time to arrive before the game begins.
In addition to the basketball match, this weekend also marks the traditional spring festival 'Kauno Kaziuko mugė 2026' taking place on Neman Island, which will affect access to the arena. Fans are advised that due to the limited access points and heavy traffic, entry to the arena's parking will be restricted to event staff vehicles only. To mitigate congestion, organizers recommend avoiding car travel and using alternative methods such as walking, cycling, or public transportation.
Looking ahead, EuroLeague action will return to Kaunas next week, with the prestigious team Real Madrid scheduled to visit Žalgirio Arena on March 20. The following day, March 21, is also highlighted as a day for all Žalgiris fans to gather and support their team at another local venue, fostering a vibrant community atmosphere around the sport during this busy weekend.
