Similar to the 2019 edition, the FIBA World Cup 2023 will be played in three phases -- the group stage, the second round, and the final phase.

In the group stage, the 32 qualified teams will be sorted into eight groups of four (A–H), where every team in a group will play each other once. The top two teams from each group will then advance to the second round.

The bottom two teams will then play two classification games to determine the 17th to 32nd rankings.

In the second round, there will be four groups (I–L) of four made up of the teams that advanced from the first round, again playing each other once. The top two teams from groups I to L will qualify for the final phase.

In the second round, Team USA will face two teams from Group D, which includes Lithuania, Mexico, Egypt, and Montenegro.

The teams that lost in the quarterfinals will then play classification games to determine the 5th to 8th rankings.
