Women's qualification

Twelve teams will qualify for the women's tournament. The host nation and the 2018 World Cup winner qualify. Those two teams, however, must play in the pre-qualifying and qualifying tournaments and will each take up one of the qualifying spots from those tournaments. Thus, while two of the World Qualifying Tournaments will provide quota spots to their three top teams, the other two tournaments will provide quota spots only to the top two teams plus either the host nation or the World Cup winner.[3]

Teams must qualify for the World Olympic Qualifying Tournaments through Women's EuroBasket or Pre-Olympic Qualifying Tournaments (which themselves must be qualified for through Continental Cups).

3x3 basketball

In June 2017, the International Olympic Committee announced that 3x3 basketball would be contested at the Summer Olympics for the first time in 2020.[4]

Qualification

Qualification for 3x3 will determine the eight teams in each of the men's and women's tournaments. The host country, Japan, is guaranteed only one place, not one per gender. Four teams per gender (reduced to three if Japan uses its guaranteed place) will be determined via world ranking. Three teams per gender will be selected through an Olympic Qualifying Tournament. The final team per gender will be determined in a Universality-driven Olympic Qualifying Tournament.[5]
