Playoff-Pick
The pre-playoffs weren't decided until today, the third matchday – Székesfehérvár prevailed in Vienna in the third game, after Villach had secured two victories against Linz – thus determining the eight playoff participants for 2026. Immediately following the final match, the top three teams after the regular season – Graz, Klagenfurt, and Salzburg – selected their quarterfinal opponents. Graz will play Villach, Klagenfurt will face Székesfehérvár, the Red Bulls will play Pustertal, and Bolzano will take on Ljubljana.
Head Coach Manny Viveiros
"There's no weak team in this league. We respect every team. Throughout the season, our goal was to continuously improve, and now we believe we're in good form for the playoffs. There isn't one specific reason why we chose Pustertal. We have great respect for Pustertal, but we also have great confidence in our own game. It will be an exciting series."
