- Second round: 4 teams that have eliminated for the 2025 FIBA AmeriCup will be joined by four teams advancing from the pre-qualifiers first round. Two teams advance from the sub-zone pre-qualifiers.
- Qualifiers: The 12 teams that have qualified for the 2025 FIBA AmeriCup will be joined by four teams advancing from the pre-qualifiers second round.
- First round: The 16 teams will be divided into four groups of four teams to play home-and-away matches. The three best placed teams from each group advance to the second round.
- Second round: The twelve teams will be divided into two groups of six teams. Each group is formed from teams advancing from the two first round groups. All results from the previous round will be carried over. The three best placed teams from both groups plus the fourth-placed team with better record qualify for the World Cup.
