Draw
editThe draw was held on 7 October 2025, at the FIBA headquarters in Mies, Switzerland,[2] conducted by German player Marie Gülich and French former player Endéné Miyem.[9] The draw started with the four hosts being placed into their respective groups and continued with, in order, pots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 being drawn, with each team selected then allocated into the first available group alphabetically. The position for the team within the group would then be drawn (for the purpose of the schedule). Countries in bold text means they qualified.
Seeding
editThe seeding and principles were announced on 6 October 2025. The seeding was based on the 8 August 2025 FIBA Women's World Ranking.[10]
In order to preserve geographic balance, the following restrictions applied in the draw:[10]
- Each of the four continental champions, who were already directly qualified for the World Cup, were drawn into one tournament.
- A maximum of two European teams were drawn in each tournament, including World Cup hosts Germany.
- One or two teams from the Americas and from Asia and Oceania were drawn in each tournament.
