Basketball at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's qualification

The men's qualification for the Olympic basketball tournament will take place from 2019 to 2020; all five FIBA (International Basketball Federation) zones are expected to have representation in the Olympic basketball event.

The first qualifying tournament will be the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup in which seven teams will qualify for the Olympics. Japan as host qualifies directly. The next best 16 teams in the FIBA Basketball World that did not qualify directly to the Olympics along with 2 select teams from each of the five FIBA zones or 24 teams will participate in four separate wild card tournaments which will determine the final four teams which will play in the Olympics.

Method

A total of 12 teams will take part in the Olympics, with each NOC sending in one team.
