The tournament was also the second of three-straight World Cups to be held in Asia after China's hosting of the [[2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup|2019 edition]] and Qatar's upcoming hosting of the [[2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup|2027 tournament]], and the first time in tournament history that a host nation has not qualified.

In round two of the World Cup qualifiers, teams were split into six groups, totaling four groups in Europe and two in the other qualifiers. Teams carried over the points from round one, and faced the other three teams again in a home-and-away round-robin. The best teams in each group qualified for the World Cup. No wild card selection was held, and the Olympic champions ([[United States men's national basketball team|United States]]) were not guaranteed a spot in the tournament. The complete field of 32 teams that participated in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 was determined on 27 February 2023 at the conclusion of the sixth window of qualifiers. ===Qualified teams=== {{main|2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification}} [[File:2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup final qualification status.png|thumb|right|upright=1.5|Status of countries with respect to the 2023 FIBA World Cup: {{legend|#3690c0|Team qualified}} {{legend|#edad08|Team failed to qualify}} {{legend|#000000|Team withdrew or disqualified}} {{legend|#cccccc|Did not enter qualifiers}}]] On 28 August 2022, [[Finland men's national basketball team|Finland]]<ref>{{cite news|title=Finland first European team to book spot at FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023|url=https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2023/european-qualifiers/news/finland-first-european-team-to-book-spot-at-fiba-basketball-world-cup|access-date=29 August 2022|publisher=FIBA|date=28 August 2022}}</ref> and the [[Ivory Coast men's national basketball team|Ivory Coast]]<ref>{{cite news|title=Cote d'Ivoire first African team to book spot at FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023|url=https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2023/african-qualifiers/news/cote-divoire-first-african-team-to-book-spot-at-fiba-basketball-world-cup-2023|access-date=29 August 2022|publisher=FIBA|date=29 August 2022}}</ref> became the first teams to qualify from Europe and Africa, respectively.

Each team plays two games in the second round, one against each of the teams they have not yet played. The top two teams from groups I to L will qualify for the final phase, with all five group stage games counting towards their records.
