2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup Groups

How the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup Bracket Works
Each team plays three group games. The winner of each group advances directly to the quarterfinals. The second and third-place teams from each group drop into a single-game Qualification to Quarter-Finals round, with crossover matchups between Groups A and B and between Groups C and D. The four winners of those games join the four group winners to complete the eight-team quarterfinal field. From there the tournament is single elimination: quarterfinals, semifinals, a third-place game and the final.
