FIBA has launched a revised 24-month Federation Ranking system for 3×3 basketball, initiating the qualification process for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles (LA28). This new ranking cycle, commencing on December 1, 2025, represents a meaningful change from the previous system by doubling the evaluation period.
According to FIBA, this extended timeframe will provide a more reliable and consistent assessment of national team performance in 3×3 basketball. The rankings will remain active until December 2027, at which point the first nations to secure qualification spots for the LA28 Olympics will be officially confirmed. This revamped system aims to ensure a fair and accurate pathway to olympic participation for 3×3 basketball teams worldwide.
