NOTE 1: As per LTN.com.tw, Chinese Taipei-A, as the host, is guaranteed a semifinal berth regardless of its standings. The other semifinal spot from Group A will go to the higher-ranked team, Wonju DB Promy of South Korea. The top two teams from Group B, UC Irvine and Chinese Taipei-B, will claim the remaining semifinal spots.
SGA has been relegated to the battle for fifth place even if they finish second in Group A, due to the tournament’s controversial format.
NOTE 2: The Chinese Taipei Basketball Association (CTBA), organizer of the ongoing 2026 William Jones Cup, has issued a public apology for changing the tournament format.
