How to Qualify

Qualification for the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 followed the FIBA Men's National Team Competition System, which set out the road to all of FIBA's main men's competitions.

Following its successful implementation in the lead-up to the last edition of FIBA's flagship event in 2019, the same principles were applied to continue to ensure regular and competitive national team games for fans from all around the world to experience.
