The men's basketball tournament at the 2020 Summer Olympics was the 20th edition of the 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]
The medals for the competition were presented by IOC vice-president Anita DeFrantz and the medalists' bouqets by FIBA first vice-president Sheikh Saud Ali Al-Thani.

Format
The twelve teams were split into 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]

Draw
The draw was held on 2 February 2021.[10][11]
The 12 teams were divided into four pots of three teams based on their FIBA World Ranking. The three groups were formed by drawing one team from each pot. Two teams from the same continent could not be placed into the same group, with the exception of European teams, where up to two teams could be in the same group.
Due to scheduling requests from the International Olympic Committee, previous champions the United States were drawn into either Group A or B, and hosts Japan were automatically allocated Group C.
Seeding
As the four winners of the 2020 FIBA Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournaments (OQT) were yet to be decided at the time of the draw, they were assigned placeholders of "OQT Belgrade", "OQT Kaunas", "OQT Split" and "OQT Victoria". Each of the four placeholders were seeded based on the highest-ranked team in each tournament.

Knockout stage
A draw after the preliminary round decided the pairings, where a seeded team played an unseeded team. The draw was held after the last group stage match on 1 August.[16][17] Teams qualified were divided into two pots:
- Pot D comprised the three first-placed teams from the group phase, along with the best second-placed team.
- Pot E comprised the two remaining second-placed teams, along with the two best third-placed teams.
Draw principles:
- Each game pairing had one team from Pot D and one team from Pot E.
- Teams from the same group could not be drawn against each other in the quarterfinals.
- The second-placed team from Pot D could not be drawn against a third-placed team from Pot E.
