The 2024 AsiaBasket International Championship is the seventh tournament under AsiaBasket, the fourth under the AsiaBasket name, and the only tournament to be held in 2024.

The Benilde Blazers, who are the defending champions, [2] are among the teams competing. [3]

Background

Prior to the announcement of the 2024 International Championship, AsiaBasket in January announced the 2024 Cebu Championship during the Sinulog festival. Initially announced to take place in April at the Hoops Dome in Lapu-Lapu City, the tournament eventually did not push through. [4]

The 2024 International Championship was announced on July 7, 2024, two days before the start of the event.

Teams

Similar to previous tournaments since International 2022, ten teams compete, including seven from the Philippines, one from Indonesia, one from the United States, and for the first time in AsiaBasket, one from Taiwan. [3]

Out of the ten teams competing, seven of them make their AsiaBasket debut, while the Benilde Blazers, FEU Tamaraws, and San Beda Red Lions are the three returning teams in this tournament.

Group stage

This tournament uses the same two-group format used since International 2022, with the ten teams being divided into two groups of five. From there each team plays one game against all other teams from the same group, with each team playing four games. The top four teams will advance to the single-elimination knockout stage, as has been the case since Las Piñas 2023, meaning that only the lowest-ranking team in each group will be eliminated after the group stage.
