The following teams are confirmed for this edition's basketball tournament for both men and women, following the conclusion of regional events and wildcard selection.[4] The New Caledonian women's 5×5 team were originally wildcard entries for the games, however, following a decision by the Territorial Olympic and Sports Committee (CTOS) of New Caledonia the team was withdrawn from the games on 22 July 2023.[5] Tonga, as the next alternate, were then awarded the wildcard.
