The United States was drawn into a group that includes the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua for the Americas portion of 2027 FIBA World Cup qualifying. Those three countries will be joined by a fourth team that is to be determined through pre-qualifying games.
2027 FIBA World Cup qualifiers for the Americas will take place throughout the end of 2025 and through the summer of 2026. Because the early portion of the qualifiers will take place during the NBA season, it’s unlikely NBA players will be a part of the Team USA roster for this round of qualifying.
In the past, Team USA has made up a roster of mostly players who play in the G League. Occasionally, a player who plays overseas or is an NBA free agent will join the team for these qualifiers.
