Basketball at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics was held from August 18 to August 26. The events took place at the Wutaishan Sports Center in Nanjing, China. As in 2010 the 3x3 format returned, along with a new event, the skill challenge.

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter a maximum of 2 teams, 1 team of 4 athletes per each gender. As hosts, China was given 2 teams, 1 per each gender. 6 teams, 3 per each gender will qualify from the 2013 U18 3x3 World Championships and another 6 teams, 3 per each gender will qualify from the 2013 3x3 World Tour Final. The remaining 13 teams per gender will qualify based on the FIBA 3x3 National Federation Ranking updated on 1 June 2014. All continents must have at least one team present in each gender and no more than 10 from the same continent can participate. Also a minimum of 30 NOCs must participate across all events.

To be eligible to participate at the Youth Olympics athletes must have been born between 1 January 1996 and 31 December 1997. Furthermore, all team members must have participated in two FIBA sanctioned 3x3 events between 1 April 2013 and 8 June 2014.

The boys' and girls' tournament will adopt a round robin group stage and a single-elimination medal round, where the 20 participating teams are split into 2 pools of 10. Each team will play once against the other teams in its pool, and the top 8 teams from each pool will qualify for the knock-out stages.
