EuroLeague confirms Final Four will take place in Abu Dhabi in 2027 and 2029
After a successful staging in May 2025, the league formalised a deal to bring the 2027 and 2029 Final Four back to Abu Dhabi.
EuroLeague has officially confirmed that the Final Four tournaments in 2027 and 2029 will take place in Abu Dhabi, the competition's management announced on October 27, 2026.
Abu Dhabi first hosted the EuroLeague Final Four in May 2025. That event was widely regarded as a major success by both the league and the local organisers, prompting early talks about extending the partnership.
Agreement follows earlier understanding to continue in Abu Dhabi
Following an initial, in‑principle arrangement reached after the 2025 event, the league has now formalised the return of the Final Four to the Emirati capital for the editions in 2027 and 2029.
Commenting on the announcement, EuroLeague president Dejan Bodiroga said: "It is with great pleasure that we can confirm that the Final Four returns to Abu Dhabi. I would like to thank Abu Dhabi for its continued support. Together, we have delivered to basketball fans one of the best Final Four tournaments in our 26-year history and thereby demonstrated EuroLeague's global appeal. The new agreement demonstrates our shared commitment to the development of basketball and the creation of an unforgettable experience for the fans."
Organisers say the multi-year dates aim to build on the momentum from 2025 and to offer a stable platform for further global expansion of the competition, while providing fans with a consistent, large‑scale event to attend.
