The 2018FIBA Under-18 Asian Championship was the 25th edition of the Asian Championship for Junior Men aged 18 years old and below. The tournament was held in Nonthaburi, Thailand from 5 to 11 August 2018.
This edition of the tournament will be using a different format as compared to what was used since 2010. While there would still be a preliminary round robin of four groups of four teams, the single-elimination final round immediately follows the preliminary round. In the final round, the teams that finished second and third in their respective groups would play in the qualifications to quarterfinals of the final round, while the group winners automatically qualify to the quarterfinals proper.[7]
Draw
Prior to the draw, the 16 teams were separated into 4 pots based on the latest FIBA Boys' World Ranking, as shown within the parenthesis.[8]

Note: Under-20/21 tourneys except FIBA Europe's are no longer held.
