The 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification, for the FIBA Europe region, will begin in the summer of 2021 and will conclude in February 2023.

On 9 December 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency initially handed Russia a four-year ban from all major sporting events, after RUSADA was found non-compliant for handing over manipulating lab data to investigators. The WADA ruling allowed athletes who were not involved in the doping or the coverup to compete, but prohibited the use of the Russian flag and anthem at major international sporting events.[1] However, the Russia national team could still enter qualification, as the ban only applies to the final tournament to decide the world champions. The ruling was appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS),[2] which ruled in favour of WADA on 17 December 2020, but cut the ban from four to two years.[3] If Russia qualifies, its players will be able to use its name, flag or anthem at the Basketball World Cup, as a result of the nation's two-year ban expiring on 16 December 2022.[3][4]
