2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup

Uncommon card · No. 101252

The 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup was the 20th edition of the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, the quadrennial world championship for women's national basketball teams, sanctioned by FIBA. The tournament was hosted in Berlin, Germany, from 4 to 13 September 2026. This was Germany's second time hosting after previously organising the event in 1998, after being awarded the hosting rights in spring 2023. Sixteen teams took part in the tournament, four more than the previous edition but returning to the same number as was between 1990 and 2018. The hosts automatically qualified. Qualifiers were decided via a mixture of continental champions and teams progressing from the qualifying tournaments. Hungary and Italy returned after long absences. The United States were the four-time defending champion, and retained the title after a finals win over France. It also represented the second final between those teams at an international event since the 2024 Summer Olympics gold medal match.
