3×3 basketball starts today!
Basketball isn’t just 5-on-5. It’s also done 3×3. And this competition starts today!
Rules
The game is done a bit differently, but here are the general rules:
- Games are played to 21. A 2-point shot in the 5-on-5 game is 1 point. A 3-point shot in the 5-on-5 game is 2. Free throws are still one point.
- Teams must win by 2 to win the game.
- Games are played half court.
- The shot clock, generally speaking, is 12 seconds.
- These are the same rules in men’s 3×3, women’s 3×3, and mixed 3×3 (which is men and women together, but mixed 3×3 was never an Olympic and it isn’t a FIBA event anymore).
The result is a fast-paced game. And with fewer players on the court, everyone tends to be a decent long range shooting threat.

Where is the 3×3 being played at?
Games are played outside at the Place de la Concorde.
Unlike 5-on-5, 3×3 is generally played outside because of its roots in streetball, like Rucker Park in Manhattan among other places. Recent 3X3 World Cups have been played outside in downtown Amsterdam, Netherlands at the Museumplein in 2019; Antwerp, Belgium at the Groenplaats in 2022; and Vienna, Austria at the Rathausplatz.
Okay, what is the 3×3 schedule for today?
