NBA G League unveils its 2025-26 schedule: 31 teams, expanded 16-team playoffs, a 14-game tip-off tournament, four regional groups, and a Winter Showcase in Orlando to crown the early favorites. After the tournament, records reset and the 36-game regular season determines the eight-team conferences for the playoffs, culminating in the Finals in April 2026. The league also highlights social-impact initiatives and a pre-season FIBA Intercontinental Cup roster featuring Buddy Boeheim, Dexter Dennis, Chasson Randle and Derrick Walton Jr., with Noblesville Boom rebranding as Indiana Pacers’ G League affiliate.

Fantasy-minded readers get a sense of the structure shifts and the league-wide development path, including every NBA team’s owned or operated G League affiliate. The roster spotlight hints at potential breakout prospects and late-round targets for the G League circuit, where depth and regional play can translate to real-world fantasy upside as players graduate to or rotate through NBA rotations.
