In total, eight World Cup berths will be allocated for the Asia-Oceania region. A slot was automatically given to Qatar as host.
The qualification structure is as follows:
First round: 16 teams will be divided into four groups of four teams to play a double round-robin system (home-and-away matches). The top three teams from each group (or the top two teams from Qatar's group) will advance to the second round.
Second round: 12 teams will be divided into two groups of six teams. Each group will be formed from teams that advanced from the four first round groups. All results from the previous round will be carried over. Each team plays against the three teams in their group that they haven't faced yet on a home-and-away basis. The top three teams in each group and the best fourth-place team qualify for the World Cup, alongside host Qatar.
The 16 teams that qualify for the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup will participate in the first round of the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian qualifiers. Qatar, the host of the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup, will also participate in the qualifiers, despite being automatically qualified for the tournament.
