FIBA 3x3 basketball is back with its biggest tournament of the year—the FIBA 3x3 World Cup, and for the first time ever, it’ll be shown exclusively on beIN SPORTS USA from June 30 to July 6, every night from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET (Miami time). This fast-paced format, born on the streets and now an Olympic sport, has quickly become one of the most exciting competitions on the international stage.

Mongolia hosts the world’s best in 3x3

The tournament lands in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, bringing the World Cup back to Asia after a seven-year break. After skipping 2024 due to the Paris Olympics, the ninth edition of the tournament returns with a packed schedule: 40 teams (20 men’s and 20 women’s), 104 games in just seven days, and big stakes with Los Angeles 2028 in sight.

The format is simple but intense: 10-minute games, 12-second shot clocks, no breaks after scoring, and a sudden win if one team hits 21 points first. Played on a single half-court with one hoop and a streetball vibe, 3x3 is full of quick plays, flashy moves, and high-flying dunks.

USA and Canada aim to stay on top

Historically, Serbia has dominated the men’s side with six titles, while Team USA leads in the women’s game with three, including the 2023 crown. This time around, USA and Canada are both aiming to prove they’re still the teams to beat, with contenders like France, China, and Latvia also in the mix. All matches are played on the same court, using the same ball—true to FIBA’s commitment to equality and accessibility.

Whether you’re a longtime basketball fan or new to 3x3, this is a summer showdown you won’t want to miss. Catch it only on beIN SPORTS, live in primetime, and watch a tournament that blends sport, culture, and Olympic ambition in every possession.
