Differences between NBA and FIBA rules

Basketball viewers will immediately see clear contrasts between NBA games and the FIBA World Cup. Here are some of the most important rule differences. 

  • Court size: The NBA court is 94 feet by 50 feet, while the FIBA World Cup court is 91.9 feet by 49.2 feet. 
  • Game length: NBA games have four 12-minute quarters and a five-minute overtime period. FIBA has four 10-minute quarters and, if needed, a five-minute OT period.
  • Shot clock: Although the NBA and FIBA each have a 24-second shot clock, FIBA players are required to shoot within 14 seconds after grabbing an offensive rebound.
  • Free throw rules: In the NBA, players have 10 seconds to take their free throws. In FIBA, players only have 5 seconds to take their free throws. This makes it more difficult for players to get into a rhythm when shooting free throws in FIBA.
  • Foul rules: In the NBA, players are allowed to commit up to 6 fouls before being ejected from the game. In FIBA, players are only allowed to commit up to 5 fouls before being ejected.
