The 2026 FIBA U18 Asia Cup was an international under-18 men's basketball tournament that was held in Ahmedabad, India, from 13 to 23 August 2026.[1] This was the 28th edition of the biennial FIBA U18 Asia Cup, previously known as the FIBA U18 Asian Championship. The tournament also served as the FIBA Asia's qualifier for the 2027 FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup in Czechia, where the top four teams qualified.
Australia secured their second straight title, and third championship overall, with a victory over China in the final, 89–79. The finalists, together with both losing semifinalists — New Zealand, who won the bronze medal against South Korea in their 3rd place match, 102–97 — punched their tickets to the 2027 FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup as FIBA Asia's representatives.[2]

Qualification
[edit]Allocation of berths and auto qualifiers
[edit]According to FIBA Asia rules, the number of participating teams in the FIBA U18 Asian Championship is set at 16. The hosts and the defending champions qualified automatically. The host does not take its subzone's berth and the defending champions do. All FIBA Asia subzones got two berths each, except for the Central and South Asian subzones, which got one berth each. FIBA Oceania got two berths. The last three berths were allocated to Asian subzones based on their teams' results in the 2024 FIBA U18 Asia Cup.
