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

The Qualifiers format for the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 remains unchanged, with six windows over a 15-month period across the four regions of Africa, Americas, Asia (including Oceania) and Europe.
