venue: Community of Madrid Sports Palace

The Euroleague 2007–08 Final Four was the final phase of Euroleague 2007-08, featuring four teams that survived a 14-game Regular Season, 6 games in the Top 16 phase, and a best-of-three quarterfinal. It was played on May 2 and May 4 in Madrid at the Community of Madrid Sports Palace.

As in previous years, the Euroleague Final Four involved four games. The first day featured the two semifinal matches. The final day started with the third-place game between the semifinal losers, followed by the Euroleague final.

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.
