24 teams will compete for 16 places at the final tournament. Matches will be played over three windows: February 2024, November 2024 and February 2025.[8] They will also earn their place for the qualifiers of the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Qatar alongside Qatar who automatically qualified for the World Cup as host. The top two teams of each group qualify for the final tournament and the six third-placed teams will play another qualifying tournament for the final four places.

The draw took place on 19 September 2023.[9][10]
