The Euroleague champions were Russian power CSKA Moscow. They established new records for the Euroleague era with their sixth consecutive Final Four appearance and third consecutive final game appearance. The title, their sixth overall, put them second in all-time European titles to Real Madrid. CSKA's Trajan Langdon was named Euroleague Final Four MVP.

Arena

The host venue was the 15,000 capacity Palacio de Deportes de la Comunidad de Madrid. Opened in 2005, it stands on the site of a previous arena built in 1960 and destroyed by fire in 2001.
