Basketball at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Women's qualification

Twelve teams will qualify for the women's basketball at the 2020 Summer Olympics tournament. The host nation and the 2019 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.[1]

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).

World Olympic Qualifying Tournaments

There will be four World Olympic Qualifying Tournaments. Each tournament will feature four teams, three of whom will qualify for the Olympic Games. However, because the host nation and the World Cup winner will each be playing in the qualifying tournaments, the tournaments in which they play will each award only two additional spots.

Qualification for WOQTs

There is a pre-qualifying process for the WOQTs. European teams must finish in the top 6 of EuroBasket, while teams from the Americas, Asia (including Oceania), and Africa play in pre-qualifying tournaments. 16 total teams qualify for the WOQTs. The Olympic host (Japan) and the World Cup winner automatically qualify for the WOQTs, each taking a spot from their respective continent.
