For the third time (after the 1986 and 2006 tournaments), the World Championship had 24 competing nations. As a result, the group stage games were played in four cities, and the knockout round was hosted by Istanbul. The United States won the tournament for their fourth time after going undefeated in the Opening Round and beating host Turkey in the final. The draw for the Championship took place on 15 December 2009 in Istanbul.Draw https://web.archive.org/web/20100425065628/http://turkey2010.fiba.com/ce/pages/eng/fe/10/fwc/men/v1/draw/geneInfo.asp?selNodeID=8957&openNodeIDs=8957 25 April 2010 at turkey2010.fiba.com Teams were drawn into four preliminary round groups of six teams each.

Turkey automatically qualified as the host country, and the United States also received an automatic berth for winning the 2008 Olympic men's basketball tournament. Most other teams secured their places in continental qualifying tournaments (three from Africa, three from Asia, two from Oceania, four from the Americas, and six from Europe). FIBA invited four "wild card" teams to fill out the twenty-four team field. Wild cards The four wild cards were determined by FIBA through criteria. For example, a team must have played in the Zone's qualification tournament to receive recommendation.Wild card Criteria https://web.archive.org/web/20091208143511/http://turkey2010.fiba.com/pages/eng/fe/10/fwc/men/v2/event-guide/p/wild-card.html 2009-12-08 at turkey2010.fiba.com Also, in order for every team to have an opportunity for a wild card, a maximum of three teams from any Zone can be allotted a wild card entry. Once these requirements are satisfied, FIBA then looks at other important factors. Those include popularity of basketball within the country, success of the team, and government support for the team's National Federation. As of 2009, FIBA now requires that wild card candidates pay a late registration fee to be considered.Additional Info about Wild cards https://web.archive.org/web/20091208143511/http://turkey2010.fiba.com/pages/eng/fe/10/fwc/men/v2/event-guide/p/wild-card.html 2009-12-08 at turkey2010.fiba.com Fourteen teams paid the 500,000 € fee to apply for one of the four wild card spots.

Slovenia was the only team composed entirely of individuals playing outside the domestic league. The Canada squad also consisted entirely of individuals playing outside the country, but at that time Canada had no professional league operating exclusively in the country (a minor professional league was scheduled to begin play in 2011). The National Basketball Association, based in the U.S., has a Canadian team, and several minor leagues operate on both sides of the U.S.—Canada border. Four Canadian squad members played in U.S.-based competitions—two with U.S.-based NBA teams, and two for Gonzaga University's team. Forty-one NBA players were selected to compete in the tournament, the most of any league.

Serbian center Nenad Krstić was arrested and held overnight for throwing a chair in the brawl. For their roles in the melee, Krstić was suspended for the first three games of the tournament, while Teodosić, and Greece's Fotsis and Sofoklis Schortsanitis were suspended for the first two games. Both Greek coach Jonas Kazlauskas and Serbian coach Dušan Ivković criticized FIBA for waiting until less than 48 hours before the tournament – over a week after the brawl – to announce the suspensions, citing the unfairness of playing shorthanded for the first games.Coach: Bans 'something unbelievable' https://www.espn.com/olympics/olybb/news/story?id=5502854 ESPN.com 27 August 2010 5 September 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100830153835/http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/olybb/news/story?id=5502854 30 August 2010 live Greece eventually won their first two games in spite of the suspensions, while Serbia won two of their first three games.

The top four finishers in each of the four preliminary round groups advanced to the sixteen team, single-elimination knockout stage, where Group A teams would meet Group B teams and Group C would meet Group D. European teams proved the most successful in the first round, as nine of the ten teams advanced to the knockout stage (only Germany did not progress). Both Oceanian teams qualified for the next round, as did three of the five FIBA Americas teams. The three African and four Asian teams struggled, with only Angola and China reaching the knockout stage after each finished fourth place in their group. There were few surprises in the early round; each team that advanced to the knockout stage was ranked in the top 20 of the FIBA World Ranking at the time of the tournament. Defending champions Spain struggled early, losing two of their first three games before recovering to finish second in Group D. Argentina and the United States, the two top teams in the FIBA rankings, both cruised to the knockout phase, as the United States went 5–0 and Argentina went 4–1, with their only loss coming to Number 5 ranked Serbia.
