The 2024 Final Four will feature the semi-finals on May 24, with the third-place and championship games two days later at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.

The 14,500-seat Mercedes-Benz Arena also played host in 2009 and 2016.

Marshall Glickman, Euroleague Basketball chief executive, said: “It is a pleasure to bring the Final Four to two of the best and most modern venues in Europe, the Zalgirio and Mercedes-Benz Arenas.

“It was very important for us to combine a traditional basketball market like Lithuania, with Berlin, a key strategic market for Euroleague Basketball’s growth.”
