The men's basketball tournament at the 2020 Summer Olympics was the 20th edition of the basketball event for men at the Summer Olympic Games. It was held from 25 July to 7 August 2021. All games were played at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.[1]

It was originally scheduled to be held in 2020, but on 24 March 2020, the Olympics were postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Because of this pandemic, the games were played behind closed doors.[3]

The United States won their 16th overall and fourth consecutive gold medal, after defeating France in the final.[4] Australia won the bronze with a 107–93 win over Slovenia, winning its first medal in men's basketball after a series of losses in bronze medal games.[5]

Format[]

The twelve teams were split in to three groups of four teams, and a single round-robin was held within each group. The first- and second-placed teams of each group advanced to the quarterfinals as well as the two best third-placed teams. After the preliminary round, the teams were grouped according to their results (top four and bottom four), and a draw paired teams between the groups for the quarterfinals. From there on a knockout system was used.[6]

The schedule of the tournament is as follows.[7]
