2020 FIBA Under-17 Basketball World Cup

The 2020 FIBA Under-17 Basketball World Cup (Bulgarian: 2020 Световна купа по баскетбол FIBA до 17 години) would have been the 6th edition of the FIBA Under-17 Basketball World Cup, the biennial international men's youth basketball championship contested by the U17 national teams of the member associations of FIBA.

It was originally scheduled to take place between 4 and 12 July 2020, and hosted by Sofia, Bulgaria. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was postponed to 15 to 23 August.[1] On 12 June 2020, FIBA postponed the tournament again and options were examined to play in 2021, but the tournament was eventually cancelled.[2]
