The United State’s national basketball teams opens the 2023 Basketball World Cup on Saturday, Aug. 26, against New Zealand. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

Spain is the defending champion, having won in China four years ago. The U.S. was only seventh in that tournament, its worst finish ever in a major international event. But the Americans have high hopes, and enter as the tournament favorites.

According to FIBA, the U.S. has the youngest team at the World Cup with an average age of 24.6. The oldest teams are Venezuela (32.3) and Cape Verde (32.2).

The final numbers are in and, officially, it’s an NBA-record 55 players who are part of this year’s World Cup. That only counts players currently under contract; it’s possible that by the time training camps start in a few weeks the number could rise.

The record was 54, set in China four years ago.

Add in former NBA players or NBA draftees, and the number rises to 106 for this tournament — another record, three more than the 2019 event.

The NBA teams with the most players at this World Cup: Orlando, Utah, Oklahoma City and Minnesota with five apiece.

The United States plays New Zealand at 7:30 a.m. (8:30 a.m. ET) on Saturday, Aug. 26.
