The Kyrgyzstan national basketball team is the national Basketball team of Kyrgyzstan, Asia. Their last match was in the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship qualification Central Asia playoff, a rout loss to Kazakhstan in Astana. The majority of their best players play in Kazakhstan, including rebounding expert center and Turkish-born player .

The team had its best year in 1995. Then, at the official 1995 Asian Basketball Championship, the team surprisingly finished ahead of favorites such as Iran, Philippines and Jordan.

A prominent player of Kyrgyzstani descent is also Kyranbek Makan who plays for China because he was born and raised there.

Liga Forward[]

The only league in Kyrgyzstan is Liga Forward which consists of mostly Kyrgyzstan players but also features ex-Kazakhstan internationals and ex-Uzbekistan internationals. Most Kyrgyzstan players start off in Liga Forward but they usually move elsewhere like the National Basketball League (Kazakhstan) or the of Uzbekistan.
