3x3 basketball makes its return at the 2026 Commonwealth Games

3x3 basketball is featured at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, with men’s and women’s competitions, including wheelchair basketball. The format consists of two teams of three using half the court, aiming for 21 points within a 10-minute match. If no team reaches 21, the team with the highest score wins, or overtime ensues for a tied score. England is the reigning men’s champion from 2022, while the women’s team secured silver in Birmingham. Performances will contribute to world ranking points for participating nations.
