2023 BAL qualification


The qualification for the 2023 BAL season, also known as Road to BAL 2023, was the 3rd edition of the qualifying tournaments for the Basketball Africa League. The tournaments were organised by FIBA Africa and are held from 10 October to 27 November 2022. The format was similar to the previous two seasons, with a group phase and an elite 16 being held.

On 21 September 2021, FIBA Africa announced the teams in the qualifying tournaments as well as the six countries that would qualify directly.

Nine teams were drawn in a group for the group phase, but withdrew prior to the start of the games.

The group was initially set to feature six teams, including the champions from Cape Verde and the Reformers of Prisons from Ghana. The Reformers of Prisons withdrew, leaving four teams in the group. The games of Group A are held in Niamey, Niger, and are played from 18 October to 23 October.

Tempo BC from Chad withdrew. Vita Club from the DR Congo withdrew due to the lack of financial means.

The games of Group B were held in Yaoundé, Cameroon, and were played from 11 October to 16 October.

Although initially planned to take place on 25–30 October, the games were rescheduled to 28–30 October. Hawassa City from Ethiopia withdrew.

The games of Group C were schedules to be hosted in Kampala, Uganda, but were pulled from the country because of the 2022 Uganda Ebola outbreak. Dar es Salaam in Tanzania was announced as the new venue.
