The 2019 FIBA World Cup
Calendar
09/09/2019
The 2019 FIBA World Cup in China is officially underway, and it provides a unique opportunity for the United States men's national team. If they're able to walk away with a gold medal, they will become the first team to win three consecutive gold medals in the tournament's history after they claimed gold in both 2010 and 2014.
The tournament, which was moved from 2018 to 2019 so that it wasn't held on the same year as the FIFA soccer World Cup, has major implications for all of the 32 countries involved, as it serves as qualification for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. There are seven teams -- two from the Americas, two from Europe and one each from the Africa, Asia and Oceania regions -- that will qualify for Tokyo based on their finish at the World Cup.
Game times for the first round have been announced, and every game of the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China can be streamed live on ESPN+.
