Overview

• The tournament runs Aug. 27–Sept. 14 with 24 teams split into four groups of six, with the top four from each group advancing to a 16‑team knockout round.
• Group-stage games will be played in Cyprus, Finland, Latvia and Poland, with all knockout games hosted in Riga, Latvia.
• ESPN lists DAZN as carrying all games, while Hot Hot Hoops points viewers to Courtside 1891, reflecting varied rights by market.
• A deep pool of NBA talent is slated to feature, including Luka Dončić, Nikola Jokić, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kristaps Porziņģis, Lauri Markkanen and Franz Wagner.
• Miami-linked players Simone Fontecchio (Italy), Pelle Larsson (Sweden) and Nikola Jović (Serbia) are in separate groups, so any head-to-head would likely come in the knockout phase.
