The 2017 FIBA Under-16 Asian Championship will be the qualifying tournament for FIBA Asia at the 2018 FIBA Under-17 Basketball World Cup. The tournament is still to be determined when and where it will be held.[1] The top four teams will represent FIBA Asia to the next year's FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup.

Qualification

Aside from the host nation and the defending champions, each of FIBA Asia's six subzones also gets one berth each, except for the East and West Asian subzones, which were allocated two berths each. Rounding out the 16-team tournament are the four berths that would be added to each subzone, depending on its teams' performance in the previous championship. Also noted is the participation of FIBA Oceania teams from Australia and New Zealand.[2]
