The NBA G League has officially revealed its schedule for the 2025/26 season, per a press release.
As usual, the regular season won’t begin until late December, with the league holding a separate event in the fall leading up to its Winter Showcase during the week before Christmas. In the past, this 14-game fall event has been known as the Showcase Cup. It was rebranded last year as the Tip-Off Tournament, and that moniker has carried over to 2025/26.
The Tip-Off Tournament, which begins on Friday, November 7, will see the league’s teams split into four regions. Each team will play 14 games and the four clubs with the best winning percentage in each region, along with the next four best teams from any region, will advance to the single-elimination championship tournament at the Winter Showcase in Orlando from December 19-22.
The G League’s regular season will consist of 36 games and will begin at the Winter Showcase, running through Saturday, March 28. For the first time, the top eight teams from each conference will make the postseason and compete in the G League playoffs in the spring — previously, only the top six teams in each conference qualified for the playoffs.
For a second consecutive year, all 30 NBA franchises will have their own G League affiliates. With 31 total teams in the NBAGL, the only unaffiliated club left in the league is the Mexico City Capitanes.
Although there are no new expansion teams for 2025/26, the Pacers‘ affiliate – formerly known as the Indiana Mad Ants – has rebranded as the Noblesville Boom as it moves to a new home (The Arena at Innovation Mile).
