3x3 basketball in Barcelona: every tournament and circuit, compared
Which 3x3 basketball tournaments and circuits run in Barcelona, how a federation circuit with FIBA points differs from an urban festival or a neighbourhood court tournament, and where CB Grup Barna's 3x3 Westfield Glòries plays. Written by CB Grup Barna, organiser of the tournament in El Clot-Glòries since 2024.
The main 3x3 tournaments and circuits in Barcelona
Three quite different families of 3x3 coexist in Barcelona: the FCBQ's federation circuit, with points for the FIBA ranking and official structure; urban festivals, multi-sport events where 3x3 is one discipline among several; and neighbourhood court tournaments, lightweight and local. Here is a snapshot of the best-known options:
| Tournament / circuit | Where | Focus | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3x3 Westfield Glòries | Westfield Glòries, La Nau del Clot and Rambleta del Clot · Sant Martí, Barcelona | Neighbourhood tournament with 10 categories, from Escoleta to senior, with FIBA points at senior level | A June weekend · 3rd edition with 113 teams (record) · €2,000 in equal prize money · open to any team |
| Circuit 3x3 FCBQ | 8 venues across Catalonia: Badalona, Balaguer, Reus, Llinars del Vallès, Tarragona, Blanes, Olot and Barcelona | Official federation circuit, from pre-mini to senior, with its own Instagram account (@3x3basquetcatala) | 9th edition (2026) · open to every category with no federation licence required · final in Barcelona |
| Circuit PRO 3x3 FCBQ | Tarragona, El Vendrell and a final in Badalona | Elite version of the federation circuit, high-level senior play | Few venues, a qualifying and grand-final format |
| Extreme Barcelona | Parc del Fòrum, Barcelona | International urban sports festival (3x3, BMX Freestyle, skateboarding, breaking); 3x3 is one of the disciplines | September · more than 500 athletes from 40 countries · free admission |
| Street Champion | Neighbourhood courts: Can Dragó, Sants, Poblenou | Frequent street tournaments, lightweight and informal | Several dates a year · roughly €10 entry per team |
Public information from each organiser, gathered to make comparison easier. Dates, venues and the format of each edition are set by each organiser on its own website or social channels: check them at the source before signing anyone up. The 3x3 Westfield Glòries figures are the club's own.
Federation, festival or neighbourhood court: the first decision
A federation circuit such as the FCBQ's awards points for the FIBA ranking and has official structure across Catalonia: worth it if the goal is serious competition and ranking points. An urban festival such as Extreme Barcelona puts 3x3 alongside other Olympic disciplines — BMX, skateboarding, breaking — with an international feel and free admission. A neighbourhood court tournament such as Street Champion is the lightest format: a small entry fee, a street atmosphere, without much more structure.
The 3x3 Westfield Glòries does not fit neatly into any of the three boxes: it started as a neighbourhood tournament — CB Grup Barna, Time Chamber and Eix Clot — but has moved up a level to carry FIBA status with world ranking points at senior level since its 3rd edition (2026), tracked on FIBA Play, without ever losing its neighbourhood feel or its equal prize money.
FIBA points: who has them in Barcelona
The Circuit 3x3 FCBQ awards FIBA ranking points in its federation categories. The 3x3 Westfield Glòries joined it in 2026: the Senior Men's Pro and Senior Women's Pro categories award points for the FIBA 3x3 world ranking, tracked on FIBA Play, while every other category — from Escoleta to veterans — competes without that requirement. Neither of the urban festivals (Extreme Barcelona) nor the court tournaments (Street Champion) award FIBA points: they are participation formats, not ranking ones.
The gap left by the Circuito 3x3 CaixaBank
The Circuito 3x3 CaixaBank is, with 11 cities in 2026, Spain's largest urban basketball festival. Barcelona is not among its stops this edition: a real visibility gap for the city that none of the local tournaments — the Westfield Glòries included — can fill on its own, but one that marks out where there is room to grow for whoever organises 3x3 in the city.
The 3x3 Westfield Glòries, in one line
An urban 3x3 basketball tournament in El Clot-Glòries organised by CB Grup Barna, Time Chamber and Eix Clot: 10 categories from Escoleta to veterans, FIBA points and FIBA Play tracking at senior level, and €2,000 in equal prize money — €1,000 for the winning Senior Women's team and €1,000 for the winning Senior Men's team, unique in Barcelona. The 3rd edition (June 2026) brought together a record 113 teams and around 508 players across three venues within a 15-minute walk of each other, with the inclusive Barna Màgics category played during Pride Month.
