Draw

The draw was held at the FIBA Headquarters, also known as the "House of Basketball" in Mies, Switzerland on 11 March 2016. As the five winners of the 2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Women (OQT) were yet to be known, they were assigned placeholders as "OQT 1", "OQT 2", "OQT 3", "OQT 4" and "OQT 5". These were the pot assignments:

Pot 1	Pot 2	Pot 3	Pot 4	Pot 5	Pot 6
United States Australia	Canada Brazil	Senegal Japan	Serbia OQT 1	OQT 2 OQT 3	OQT 4 OQT 5

Group A was assigned with OQT 1, OQT 3 and OQT 5, while Group B had OQT 2 and OQT 4.
