Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for centralized beam determination for full duplex (FD) communications. An example method, performed by a wireless node, includes obtaining at least one report indicating information regarding candidate beams, selecting, from the candidate beams, a pair of beams based on the information, and outputting, for transmission, signaling indicating that at least one user equipment (UE) is to use the pair of beams for full duplex (FD) wireless communications on a first link and a second link.
