The tournament system for the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 includes a preliminary qualifying stage that precedes the main tournament. 24 teams will participate in the qualifying round, which is divided into groups based on the Western and Eastern regions. Qualifying teams will compete to qualify for the finals, which will feature 16 national teams competing in the knockout stages. The tournament will rely on a league-style format where the team that finishes first in each group qualifies directly to the next stages, while teams that finish second and third must play additional matches to secure qualification. At the end of the tournament, the winning team will be crowned champion of the FIBA Asia Cup 2025, in one of the largest continental tournaments.

The city of Jeddah, located on the western coast of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, will be the gateway that welcomes the largest continental tournament in Asian basketball. Jeddah is one of the most prominent cities in the Kingdom, a blend of history and modern culture, making it the perfect place to host a global sporting event. The city is characterized by its strategic location on the Red Sea, its developed infrastructure, as well as its warm hospitality that makes it an ideal destination for fans and teams alike. With its magnificent landmarks such as the Jeddah Corniche and King Abdullah Sports City, Jeddah will be a point of attraction for all basketball fans in Asia and around the world.
