The 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification for the FIBA Americas region began in July 2024 and will conclude in March 2027. The process will determine the seven teams that would participate at the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup.[1]
Format
The qualification structure is as follows:
- Pre-Qualifiers
- First round: Teams that did not enter the 2025 FIBA AmeriCup qualifiers were divided into two tournaments, based on geographical sub-zones. The best-placed teams from Central American and the Caribbean zone and the single winner from South American play-off advance to the second round.
- Second round: Two teams advance from the sub-zone pre-qualifiers, who will be joined by four teams eliminated from 2022 FIBA AmeriCup qualifiers.
- Qualifiers: The 12 teams that have qualified for the 2025 FIBA AmeriCup will be joined by four teams advancing from the pre-qualifiers.
- First round: The 16 teams will be divided into four groups of four teams to play home-and-away matches. The three best placed teams from each group advance to the second round.
- Second round: The twelve teams will be divided into two groups of six teams. Each group is formed from teams advancing from the two first round groups. All results from the previous round will be carried over. The three best placed teams from both groups plus the fourth-placed team with better record qualify for the World Cup.
