{{Main|2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification}}

China as the hosts automatically qualified for the tournament. The continental championships were no longer the qualification system for the World Cup. Instead, two rounds of continental qualifying tournaments were held over two years.{{Cite web |url=http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/even/compCalendar/p/openNodeIDs/27288/selNodeID/27288/the_new_system.html |title=FIBA competitions calendar format 2017–2020 |access-date=1 February 2014 |archive-date=17 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151217175329/http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/even/compCalendar/p/openNodeIDs/27288/selNodeID/27288/the_new_system.html |url-status=dead }}

The first round of the Americas, Asia/Oceania and Africa qualifiers featured 16 teams each, whereas Europe had 32 teams. Division A teams were split in groups of four, to be held in a home-and-away round-robin. The top three teams in each groups advanced to round two, and the last placed teams played the best Division B teams to qualify for the next season's Division A.

In round two of the World Cup qualifiers, teams were split in groups of six, totalling four groups in Europe and two in the other qualifiers. Teams carried over the points from round one, and faced other three teams again in a home-and-away round-robin. The best teams in each group qualified for the World Cup.

Starting 2019, no wild card selection was held, and the Olympic champions were not guaranteed a spot in the tournament.

The draw for the qualifiers was held on 7 May 2017 in Guangzhou.{{cite news|title=Draw results in for FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Qualifiers|url=https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2019/news/draw-results-in-for-fiba-basketball-world-cup-2019-qualifiers|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170824072143/http://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2019/news/draw-results-in-for-fiba-basketball-world-cup-2019-qualifiers|url-status=live|archive-date=24 August 2017|website=fiba.com|publisher=FIBA|date=7 May 2017|type=Press release}}

The tournament was played in three stages. During the first stage, the 32 qualified teams were sorted into eight groups of four (A-H) and each team in a group played the other three teams once. The top two teams from each group then advanced to the second group stage. In the second group stage, there were four groups of four (I-L) made up of the teams that advanced from the first round, with the teams that have not yet played each other facing off against one another once. The top two teams from groups I to L will qualify for the final knockout phase.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw6vPH91Egc| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211118/Yw6vPH91Egc| archive-date=18 November 2021 | url-status=live|title=2017–2021: FIBA New Competition System|work=FIBA.com|date=21 October 2015|access-date=28 December 2015}}{{cbignore}}

Hosts China and the three best qualified teams as per the February 2019 FIBA World Rankings were seeded in Pot 1, and China and USA were assigned to groups A and E, respectively. The remaining 28 teams were allocated Pots 2-8 based on the 2019 FIBA World Ranking. Teams in pots 1, 4, 5 and 8 were drawn into Groups A, C, E and G, and Teams in pots 2, 3, 6 and 7 were drawn into Groups B, D, F and H.{{cite web |title=Procedure for FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Draw |url=https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2019/news/procedure-for-fiba-basketball-world-cup-2019-draw |website=fiba.basketball |publisher=FIBA |access-date=22 March 2023 |date=15 March 2019}}

Aside from Europe, two teams from the same qualification zone could not be drawn into the same group. Canada was moved from Pot 5 to Pot 6, switching places with Iran (the best ranked team from that pot) to avoid having two teams from the Americas in the same group.

The official logo of the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup was officially unveiled on 21 March 2017 in a ceremony held in Shanghai. The logo's concept was inspired from the Beijing Opera where the actors symbolize concepts such as wisdom, persistence, power and perfection, which are prerequisite characteristics that the participating players of national team will need to exhibit "in order to succeed". The logo design was also inspired from the Chinese Dragon Dance, a cultural tradition depicting a story of two flying dragons battling over a shining pearl which is meant to parallel the competition of national teams for the Naismith Trophy. The logo was created by Shanghai-based agency Flagship.{{cite news|title=FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 logo unveiled|url=https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2019/news/fiba-basketball-world-cup-2019-logo-unveiled|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171004222138/http://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2019/news/fiba-basketball-world-cup-2019-logo-unveiled|url-status=live|archive-date=4 October 2017|access-date=21 March 2017|publisher=FIBA|date=21 March 2017}}
