AfroBasket 2017 was the 29th edition of the AfroBasket, a men's basketball continental championship of Africa. The tournament was jointly hosted by Tunisia and Senegal. Angola was proposed by FIBA Africa to host the tournament, an offer declined as the country is holding general elections in the same period.
Tunisia won their second title after defeating Nigeria 77–65 in the final, while Senegal catched the third place by beating Morocco 73–62.
On 30 June 2017 FIBA Africa confirmed that Tunisia and Senegal will jointly host FIBA AfroBasket.
The draw was held on 16 July 2017 in Mauritius.
All times in Radès are UTC+1 and in Dakar are UTC±0.
