The 2022 FIBA Asia Cup qualification was a basketball competition that was played from February 2018 to August 2021, to determine the fifteen FIBA Asia-Oceania nations who would join the automatically qualified host Indonesia at the 2022 FIBA Asia Cup.

Qualification format[edit]

In line with the new FIBA Calendar format implemented since 2017, FIBA Asia began their own qualifiers for 2021 FIBA Asia Cup in 2018. Pre-qualifiers were contested on sub-zone and regional basis between Division B teams – teams that did not participate in FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Asian Qualifiers. Eight Teams that emerged victorious in the pre-qualifiers qualified to the qualifiers joining sixteen Division A teams – participants at 2017 FIBA Asia Cup and 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification. Qualifiers started after the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup.^[1]

First round[edit]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FIBA Executive Committee decided in 2020 September that for the 2020 November and 2021 February windows games in each group were held at a single venue under a bubble format. Games from Group B, C, and F as well as games involving South Korea were not held during the 2020 November window.^[12]^[13]^[14] Top two teams from each group qualified for the 2021 FIBA Asia cup, while all third-placed teams competed in the second round. After the June 2021 window, all games not played were cancelled and groups were ranked based on the games played to date.^[15]

Group A[edit]

Indonesia was confirmed as hosts of the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup on 18 December 2020, therefore qualifying for the tournament proper regardless of their final placing.^[16]
