The 2025 FIBA Asia Cup was the 31st edition of the FIBA Asia Cup, the continental men's basketball championship in Asia. It was held from 5 to 17 August 2025. The tournament was organized by FIBA Asia and returned to its usual four-year cycle, after the previous tournament was delayed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Saudi Arabia hosted the tournament for the second time after staging the 1997 edition. Australia entered the tournament as defending champions after beating Lebanon in the 2022 final. They defended their title with a win over China in the final, 90–89.
