About 3×3 Basketball

Akin to the T20 version of cricket, 3×3 basketball is one of the fastest growing urban sport disciplines in the world.

Compared to traditional basketball:

• 3×3 needs only a half-court and six players.
• It’s a 10-minute game.
• Highest score in 10 minutes or first team to score 21 points wins.
• Three-pointers are awarded two points, and two-pointers are awarded 1 point.

3×3 is not only FIBA’s second official discipline but was played for the first time at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and will also be included in the Commonwealth Games – Birmingham 2022, Asian Games 2022 and the Paris 2024 Olympics.

About 3×3

3×3 (pronounced “three-ex-three” in English) is considered the number one urban team sport discipline. From the first official event at the 2010 Youth Olympics Games, FIBA has had an ambitious vision for the game. The strategy is designed and executed holistically by a 3×3- dedicated team in FIBA’s headquarter since the inception of the business unit in 2010.

The business operations have been steadily growing year-on-year, including achievements like the inclusion of 3×3 in the Olympic Program as of 2020 and the official competitions being broadcast in over 100 countries.
