The EuroBasket 2022 will be the 41st edition of the EuroBasket championships organized by FIBA Europe: the first since it was agreed it would take place every four years, with a similar system of qualification as for the FIBA Basketball World Cup.[1] It was originally scheduled to take place between 2 and 19 September 2021, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent postponement of the 2020 Summer Olympics to 2021, it has been postponed to 1 to 18 September 2022.[2]

Like the previous two editions, the tournament will be co-hosted by four countries. Games in the group stage will be held in Germany, Czech Republic, Georgia and Italy. The knock-out phase will be played in Berlin, Germany.

Host selection

For EuroBasket 2015 and 2017, FIBA Europe opened three bidding options for hosting: to host a preliminary group, to host the final round, or to host the entire tournament. In the end, each of these two tournaments was hosted in four cities in four countries. It will be hosted by four nations for the third time.

Seven counties submitted separate candidacies to host Eurobasket 2022:[3][4]

Czech Republic, Georgia, Germany and Italy were selected as host countries on 15 July 2019 at the Central Board in Munich, Germany.
