Format

The continental championships will no longer belong to the qualification system for the World Cup. Instead, two rounds of continental qualifying tournaments will be held over two years in a home-and-away format.

The first round of the qualifiers will be held in late 2017 and early 2018. The Americas, Asia / Oceania and Africa qualifiers will feature 16 teams each, whereas Europe will have 32 teams. Division A teams will be split in groups of four, to be held in a home-and-away round-robin. The top three teams in each groups will advance to round two, and last placed teams will play the best Division B teams to qualify for the next season's Division A.

Round two of the World Cup qualifiers will be held in late 2018 and early 2019. Teams will be split in groups of six, totaling four groups in Europe and two in the other qualifiers. Teams will carry over the points from round one, and face another three teams again in a home-and-away round-robin. The best teams in each group will qualify for the World Cup.

Starting in 2019, no wild card qualification will be held, and the Olympic champions will not directly qualify to the World Cup.

The draw for the qualifiers was held on 7 May 2017 in Guangzhou, China.

2017 Qualifying Tournament

In order to determine the last national team in Division A, a tournament took place in July 2017, where the highest-placed teams entered Division A, while the other team entered Division B and eliminated from 2019 Basketball World Cup contention. The two participating teams are the 8th place teams in the Centrobasket and the South American Championship in 2016.

FIBA Europe

European Pre-Qualifiers

The 24 national teams that qualified for EuroBasket 2017 have also qualified for Division A of FIBA Basketball World Cup Qualifying. The last 8 teams qualified through the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 European Pre-Qualifiers which were held in August 2017.

In order to determine the last 8 spots in Division A, 13 teams participated in 4 home-and-away round robin groups on 2 to 19 August 2017. The draw to determine the 4 groups was held in Prague, Czech Republic on 10 December 2016.

Issues and concerns

There are concerns from national associations that they will not be able to play the qualifiers with players from top professional leagues globally (National Basketball Association and EuroLeague), which is possible with the continental championships held in mid-year.
