Working in relativistic quantum field theory, we derive the quantization condition satisfied by coupled two- and three-particle systems of identical scalar particles confined to a cubic spatial volume with periodicity $$L$$. This gives the relation between the finite-volume spectrum and the infinite-volume $$\textbf 2 \to \textbf 2$$, $$\textbf 2 \to \textbf 3$$ and $$\textbf 3 \to \textbf 3$$ scattering amplitudes for such theories. The result holds for relativistic systems composed of scalar particles with nonzero mass $$m$$, whose center of mass energy lies below the four-particle threshold, and for which the two-particle K-matrix has no singularities below the three-particle threshold. Finally, the quantization condition is exact up to corrections of the order $$\mathcal{O}(e^{-mL})$$ and holds for any choice of total momenta satisfying the boundary conditions.
