FIBA 3×3 World Cup 2025: Full Schedule, Preview, and How to Watch

The ninth edition of the 3×3 basketball World Cup will take place from June 23 to 29 at Sukhbaatar Square in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The two-year wait is nearly over as anticipation for the FIBA 3×3 World Cup 2025 soars. The 3×3 World Cup 2025 will be held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, from June 23 to 29. Half-court stars will make the trip.

At the ninth edition of 3×3’s showpiece event, 40 teams will travel to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia’s historic capital, with the goal of winning the world title.

Serbia will defend its men’s tournament crown after finishing sixth in Vienna two years ago, a record.

The formidable Strahinja Stojacic will serve as their leader, and the team will also include well-known actors Marko Brankovic and Dejan Majstorovic.

In the meantime, the United States will be attempting to go back-to-back in the women’s competition, but their lineup is quite different from 2023’s.

French talisman Franck Seguela, Canadian veteran Kacie Bosh, Spanish favorite Sandra Ygueravide, and clutch Dutch Olympic hero Worthy de Jong are more 3×3 basketball players to keep an eye on.

Everything you need to enjoy every moment of the action is right here.

How to watch the live 3×3 basketball action at the 2025 FIBA 3×3 World Cup

Although there may be geo-restrictions when watching the tournament on television in some countries, you can follow the action on the FIBA 3×3 YouTube channel from June 23 to June 29.

Who is competing?

40 teams are competing in Ulaanbaatar, 20 for each gender. These teams qualified by winning a Zone Cup the year before, being the hosts (Mongolia), or securing a spot at the FIBA 3×3 World Cup Qualifier 2025.

Who are the favorites?

This is the greatest team in the world because it’s the World Cup. However, we’re going to push ourselves by restricting it to the four teams of each gender that we believe will advance to the final four.

If we didn’t start with Serbia, this ranking would undoubtedly be ridiculed constantly in the men’s division. If you haven’t been living under a rock, you are aware that Serbia has controlled this competition since they won the inaugural title in 2012.

After an incredible six of eight victories overall, including exciting victories in 2022–2023, they have essentially continued to win ever since. Having achieved the feat in 2016–18, they will be aiming for an absurd second three-peat in tournament history.

But with new competitors emerging, it will be more difficult this time. The largest has been the Olympic gold medalist Netherlands, which are hoping for their first championship after finishing second twice.

They have a good World Cup record and defeated France, who must be considered a formidable contender, to win Olympic gold last year. Les Bleus have made it to the podium a record three times, which is second only to the United States, the 2019 champions.

Although the Americans have a new lineup, this proud country will be ready to exact retribution after losing to Serbia in 2023 in what is perhaps the greatest 3×3 match ever. The USA will be hoping to become the second men’s team to win multiple World Cups, with Henry Caruso and James Parrott emerging as the new Captain Americans.

The three-time champions and defending champions, USA will usher in a new era in the women’s division under the leadership of LSU phenom Mikaylah Williams.

To emphasize the parity, however, the women’s draw has produced six different winners in the last six World Cups.

After dominating the early stages of the Women’s Series, the Netherlands is a strong contender to be the next winner. They are also former European champions, but oddly, they have a curse at the World Cup, never making it to the podium. They’re ready to break the jinx.

In addition to winning World Cups, Canada and Australia have dominated their continental competitions. However, they are fully aware that going all the way with the world watching will solidify their legacies.
