Teams in each group will play in a round-robin format (home and away matches). In Group A, each team will play 6 games, while in Groups B and C, each team will play 4 games. The winner of each group (the team finishing first) will advance directly to the next stage.
One of the best second-placed teams may also advance additionally (according to FIBA’s general regulations, to balance the groups). Since Group A has 4 teams, results against the team finishing last will not be counted in the battle for the best second place.
