The 2016 FIBA Europe Cup Final Four was the inaugural Final Four tournament in FIBA Europe Cup history, and will be the concluding stage of the 2015–16 FIBA Europe Cup season. The Final Four was held from April 29 till May 1, 2016.

On April 6, 2016, it was announced that the tournament was to be held at the Le Colisée in Chalon-sur-Saône. Fraport Skyliners won the tournament.

Final

This was Skyliners Frankfurt's first chance to win a European title ever in its club history. For Varese, this was already the 13th appearance in the Final of a European club competition; the Italians won the FIBA European Champions Cup (5 times) and FIBA Saporta Cup (2 times) before. However, Varese's last European victory was back in 1980.

Fraport Skyliners clawed their way back from a 12-point third-quarter deficit to edge out OpenjobMetis Varese 66-62 in a gripping FIBA Europe Cup final and lift the first European trophy in club history. Quantez Robertson of Fraport, who scored 15 points in the Final, was named Final Four MVP.
