FIBA and the Polish Basketball Federation (PZKosz) announced that Warsaw, the vibrant capital of Poland, will host the FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2026 – marking the first time the country welcomes 3x3's flagship event.
Set against the backdrop of one of Europe's greenest and most dynamic urban centres, the tournament will bring together 40 of the best men's and women's national teams from across the globe, celebrating the fast-paced, high scoring action of 3x3 basketball in a major European city. The event is set to take place in the heart of downtown Warsaw, adjacent to the iconic Palace of Culture and Science, one of the tallest buildings in Europe.
The announcement was made during a press conference in Warsaw, with FIBA Secretary General Andreas Zagklis, PZKosz President Grzegorz Bachański, and city representatives in attendance.
'Bringing the FIBA 3x3 World Cup in Warsaw for the first time highlights Poland's strong commitment to 3x3 basketball,' said FIBA Secretary General Andreas Zagklis. 'With its proven success in organizing top-tier events, Poland is a natural choice. We look forward to seeing the world's best 3x3 players compete here on this global stage.'
"We are glad that the highest-ranking event, the FIBA 3x3 World Cup, will come to Warsaw. The modern capital of our country will be the perfect place for this tournament.' Said President of Polish Basketball Federation Mr. Grzegorz Bachanski.
This announcement also builds on Poland's recent success as a host. In 2023, the city of Lublin staged the FIBA 3x3 U23 World Cup, an event that drew praise for its atmosphere, fuelled the growing popularity and competitiveness of 3x3 basketball nationwide.
Poland has established itself as a serious contender on the global 3x3 stage. At the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Poland's men's national team finished 6th, building on their debut performance in Tokyo and demonstrating exceptional resilience and teamwork. The women's national team continues to deliver impressive performances at the FIBA 3x3 Women's Series.
The FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2026 promises not only elite competition but also a festival-like atmosphere in the heart of Warsaw—uniting sport, culture, and the global 3x3 community.
