Fast, intense and spectacular, 3x3 basketball has rapidly become one of the most exciting disciplines in urban sports. Played on a half-court with just three players per team, the format delivers non-stop action, quick decisions and high-energy performances.
Originally popular on playgrounds and street courts around the world, the discipline has grown into a global phenomenon thanks to the work of FIBA, which officially structured the format and launched international competitions.
The rise of 3x3 basketball reached a major milestone when the sport made its debut at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Since then, its popularity has continued to explode, attracting both professional players and new audiences drawn to its fast-paced, urban atmosphere.
Unlike traditional five-on-five basketball, the 3x3 format is played with a 12-second shot clock, shorter games and constant transitions between offense and defense. The result? A spectacular sport where every possession matters and every second counts.
This dynamic style fits perfectly with the spirit of Brussels Urban Sessions, where sport, urban culture and entertainment come together in the heart of the city.
Explosive dunks, long-range shots and intense one-on-one battles, 3x3 basketball promises a thrilling show for fans and spectators alike.
