EuroBasket 2025 qualification
The EuroBasket 2025 qualification is a basketball competition that is being played from November 2021 to February 2025, to determine the 20 FIBA Europe member nations who will join the automatically qualified co-hosts Latvia, Cyprus, Finland and Poland at the EuroBasket 2025 finals tournament. Format changes
Similar, as for the previous edition, the format involves pre-qualifiers and qualifiers. The pre-qualifiers first round comprises teams that did not play in the 2023 FIBA World Cup qualifiers. Due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, FIBA changed the qualification system during the pre-qualifiers first round. Old format
The pre-qualifiers first round is played by ten teams: Eight eliminated in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup pre-qualifiers, and two teams who did not apply to enter in those qualifiers. They are divided into three groups: two groups of three teams and one group with four teams. The winner of each group and the best runner-up team would qualify for the second round. The pre-qualifiers second round would be played by twelve teams: Eight eliminated in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualifiers first round, and four teams that advanced from the first round. They would then be divided into four groups by three teams with the group winners advancing to the Qualifiers. The pre-qualifiers third round would be played by all remaining teams from the first and the second round which failed to advance to the qualifiers. They would compete for the four last places in the qualifiers. New format
The pre-qualifiers first round continued playing in the original format since the  decision about a competition system change was taken during its progress. In the meanwhile, Cyprus was announced as one of the tournament hosts, while Russia and Belarus were expelled from all FIBA competitions, which implied few format changes. Instead of originally four teams, now six teams advance from the pre-qualifiers first round to the second round: three group winners, two best runners-up and Cyprus as host nation, regardless of their result. The pre-qualifiers second round will be played by twelve teams: Six (instead of original eight following exclusion of Russia and Belarus) eliminated in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup Qualifiers first round, and six teams advancing from the first round. Unlike the initial format, they will be divided into three groups by four teams with the group winners and Cyprus advancing to the qualifiers. The pre-qualifiers third round will be played by all other teams from the first two rounds without any changes. Qualifiers will be played by 32 teams: 24 teams competing at the second round of 2023 FIBA World Cup qualifiers joined by eight teams advanced from Pre-Qualifiers. Pre-Qualifiers
The EuroBasket 2025 Pre-Qualifiers will be played over three rounds. The best eight teams advance to the EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers. First round
