A record 73 television channels will broadcast the 2016 Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four from Berlin to almost 200 countries and territories across the globe. As such, the Final Four will be available virtually anywhere on the planet, with live broadcasts to airplanes and cruise ships bringing the range of television viewing possibilities even beyond the six inhabited continents.

The Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four takes place from Friday, May 13 to Sunday, May 15 in the German capital and will crown the new club champion of the continent. On Friday, CSKA Moscow and Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar face off in the all-Russian first semifinal, to be followed by Fenerbahce Istanbul of Turkey and Laboral Kutxa Vitoria Gasteiz of Spain.

Although the games of the Final Four are the main event of Final Four weekend, selected televisions will also broadcast the ADIDAS NEXT GENERATION TOURNAMENT, the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Awards Ceremony, press conferences and much more.

"We are proud that once again the Final Four may be watched live in all corners of the planet, thanks to our television partners," Andrea Bassani, Chief Television and New Media Rights Officer for Euroleague Basketball, said. "It shows that the Turkish Airlines Euroleague is a truly global basketball brand that has fans everywhere and attracts new viewers all the time for our broadcasters."

Euroleague Basketball is pleased that its largest broadcasting partners are all back to bring the games to, in some cases, dozens of countries and many millions of viewers. Al Jazeera brings the Euroleague to 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa. SkyMEx will show the games throughout Mexico and seven more Central American nations. Sport Klub's broadcasts will reach seven countries in the former Yugoslavia. The list of broadcasters in China is 11 strong, with CCTV 5, Liaoning TV and LETV all returning after getting high ratings last season. Fox via Setanta Africa and SUPERSPORT Africa have an audience spanning nearly 50 countries across Africa and Eurosport Asia will broadcast the game throughout South Asia, Oceania, and across the South Pacific. Sport 24 (Inflight) will beam the Final Four to airplanes – including those of Turkish Airlines – and cruise ships.
