Great Britain’s men were handed an awkward draw in the qualifiers for the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
GB are in Group B for the first phase, along with Greece, Turkey and Belarus.
The games will be played in the international windows of November 22-30 2021, 21 Feb-1 March and 27 June-5 July 2022.
The top three from the group will advance to the second phase. The trio progressing from GB’s pool would cross over with the leading finishers from Group A of Serbia, Slovakia, Belgium and Latvia.
Those fixtures would be in 22-30 August and 7-15 November 2022 and 20-28 February 2023.
The World Cup, co-hosted by Japan, Indonesia and The Philippines, will be held in August and September of 2023 with the draw for the finals slated for the preceding March 6.

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
