The 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup final was the concluding basketball game which determined the winner of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. The game was played on 10 September 2023, at the Mall of Asia Arena, in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines,[1] between Germany and Serbia. It was the first all-European final since 2006 in Japan,[2] when Spain won its first title against Greece.[3]

At halftime, a turnover ceremony was held to officially hand over the hosting rights of the FIBA Basketball World Cup from the Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia to Qatar, host of the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup,[4] the first in tournament history to be held in the Middle East and North Africa region.[5] The Naismith Trophy was awarded to the winning team for the second time since the adoption of its new version in 2017,[6] with Germany winning its first World Cup title.[7]
