Format

This edition of the tournament will be using a different format as compared to what was used since 2010. While there would still be a preliminary round robin of four groups of four teams, the single-elimination final round immediately follows the preliminary round. In the final round, the teams that finished second and third in their respective groups would play in the qualifications to quarterfinals of the final round, while the group winners automatically qualify to the quarterfinals proper.

Draw

Prior to the draw, the 16 teams were separated into 4 pots based on the latest FIBA Boys' World Ranking, as shown within the parenthesis.

The Draw ceremony was held on July 6 at Mono 29 Stadium in Nonthaburi, Thailand. Teams in each pot were distributed into four groups, with the host nation picking their group. Thailand eventually decided to be drawn in Group C, along with Bahrain and newcomers Australia & New Zealand.

Venues

Most games were held at Stadium 29, located in the Bangkok suburb of Nonthaburi. A few games were held at the Thai-Japanese Bangkok Youth Center in Bangkok.
