Location of teams of the 2020 FIBA Intercontinental Cup
The tournament was contested by four teams. For the second time, the National Basketball Association (NBA) opted to send the NBA G League champions, rather than the NBA champions. The champions of the EuroLeague were not allowed to participate by FIBA World, due to the EuroLeague's dispute with FIBA.
