Besides the 12 nations competing at the Women's Olympic Basketball Tournament Paris 2024, the next best 16 teams in the world (4 per region) will be in action with a first step on the Road to Berlin and, ultimately, the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2026 in Germany.

The FIBA Central Board approved the expansion of the women's competition system following the conclusion of the previous World Cup, in line with FIBA's Women in Basketball strategic priority. The aim is to grant a larger number of National Federations meaningful and regular international competition.

The top two teams from each Group will qualify for the Semi-Finals, while the winner of each tournament will qualify for the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2026 Qualifying Tournaments taking place in March 2026.

The FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2026 Qualifying Tournaments will involve 24 teams, with the winners of the Mexico and Rwanda Pre-Qualifying Tournaments and a further 22 teams determined by results in the FIBA Women's Continental Cups 2025.
