The 2024 FIBA Intercontinental Cup was the 34th edition of the FIBA Intercontinental Cup. The tournament was hosted at the Singapore Indoor Stadium for a second consecutive year under a three-year agreement with the Singaporean government. It was the second time the tournament was hosted in Asia.[1] For the first time in competition history, a team from Oceania is included and five continents represented.[2]

Franca were the defending champions but will not be able to defend their title as they were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the 2023–24 BCL Americas season.

During the tournament, the FIBA Hall of Fame held its induction ceremony.[3][4]

In the final, Unicaja defeated NBA G League United by a score of 75–60, to win their first championship.[5]
