African champions RSSB Tigers have been drawn into Group A of the 2026 FIBA Intercontinental Cup, which will take place in Beijing, China, from September 22 to 27.

The Rwandan club will represent Africa at the prestigious intercontinental tournament after winning the 2026 Basketball Africa League (BAL) title in Kigali in late May.

While RSSB Tigers enter the tournament as BAL champions, their Group A opponents also boast continental success. Rytas Vilnius are the Basketball Champions League Europe champions, while Shanghai Sharks are the reigning Chinese Basketball Association champions.

Group B features Boca Juniors of Argentina, the winners of the Basketball Champions League Americas; home side Beijing Royal Fighters of China; and NBA G League United, a U.S. select team that finished as runners-up at the 2024 and 2025 Intercontinental Cup editions.
