The 2023 FIBA World Cup, taking place from 25 August, will crown a new men's world champion when the tournament concludes on 10 September.

The FIBA men's basketball world ranking provides a definitive list of the top teams on the planet.
The rankings are calculated based on a weighted points system that takes into account games played over the most recent eight-year period.

Correct as of 27 February 2023.
