The FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2026 and the FIBA 3×3 World Cup Qualifier 2026 will bring high-octane basketball action to Singapore. These back-to-back events mark a historic first for the city-state, as the national men’s and women’s teams will compete in the World Cup Qualifier for the first time. Both competitions will take place at OCBC Square in The Kallang.

The Asia Cup runs from April 1 to 5, followed by the World Cup Qualifier on April 11 and 12. Fans can expect intense competition as teams from Asia, Oceania, Europe, South America, and Africa battle for top honors. The World Cup Qualifier will determine six final spots for the FIBA 3×3 World Cup, scheduled in Warsaw, Poland, from June 1 to 7, 2026.

Thrilling matchups highlight Asia Cup competition

The FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2026 continues its legacy as a fan-favorite event, now in its fifth consecutive year in Singapore. This year will feature 46 national teams from Asia and Oceania, with Australia defending its title in both men’s and women’s categories.

Local interest is high, with Singapore drawn into the same pools as Japan for both divisions. The men’s team aims to build on its 2025 quarter-final appearance. The women’s team is eager to make a mark on the international stage. Fans can expect competitive games and memorable performances.

Top international teams are also expected to deliver thrilling action. In the men’s Main Draw, defending champion Australia faces the Philippines in Pool D. In the women’s Pool B, Australia and China will renew their rivalry following a closely contested semi-final last year.

Singapore’s players will rely on momentum from recent SEA Games and Commonwealth Games qualifications. The teams are motivated to compete at their best and inspire local fans with every possession.
