The draw was held on 22 July 2019 in Munich, Germany. Italy was drawn into Group B with Estonia, North Macedonia and Russia. These matches will be played in three windows from 17 to 25 February 2020; from 23 November to 1 December 2020 and from 15 to 23 February 2021 with two games played by each team in every window.
Leonardo Totè had incurred in an injury on the right eye the same day of the match and, because of the FIBA regulation, he couldn't be replaced.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic the matches of the second window against North Macedonia and Russia have been arranged to be played behind closed doors, in the protected bubble of the Saku Suurhall in Tallinn.
But the first of the two matches against North Macedonia that was initially scheduled to be played on November 28, was postponed because three Macedonian players were found positive to SARS-CoV-2. The FIBA Medical Commission was forced to defer the game. The match was finally played in the third window on 18 February 2021 in the Perm bubble in Russia.
The third and last window, together with the postponed game against North Macedonia, was played in the Perm bubble in Russia in order to limit the exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic. All games were played behind closed doors.
