Roster A 17-player roster was announced on 28 July 2025. Several active players who were part of the preliminary team for the 2024 Olympic Games, including Vladimir Lučić, Ognjen Jaramaz, Dušan Ristić, Aleksej Pokuševski, and Aleksa Radanov, were not included in the call-up or declined the invitation for various reasons. The only player from the final 12-man Olympic roster who was not included in the preliminary squad is Uroš Plavšić.
The roster also did not feature Bogoljub Marković, a youngster who previously played for the senior national team and was drafted into the NBA this year, nor did it include Atlanta Hawks rookie Nikola Đurišić.
Alen Smailagić and Uroš Trifunović, although part of the team from the start of the training camp, did not appear in any official friendly matches due to injuries, and were the first players to be omitted from the roster on 20 August.
The final squad was announced on 23 August 2025. The roster, which includes ten players who participated in the previous year's Olympic Games, marked the return of veteran playmaker Stefan Jović, and the senior national team debut of Tristan Vukčević, a Washington Wizards player. Owing to his parents’ heritage, his birthplace, and the countries in which he developed as a youth player, Vukčević was eligible to represent Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sweden, Italy, Spain, or Serbia at the international level, ultimately electing to play for Serbia.
