On Feb. 10, the 2021 NBA G League season will tip off in a single-site environment at the Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando, Florida.
Eighteen teams, including the NBA G League Ignite, will each play 15 games through March 6. The top eight teams from the regular season will advance to a single-elimination playoff, set to begin March 8 with the NBA G League Final to take place on March 11.
Over the course of the season, 14 regular-season games will air on either ESPN2 or ESPNU while ESPN+ will broadcast 100-plus contests. In addition, 12 games will be televised on NBA TV with each of those simulcast on Twitch.
Players, coaches, team and league staff living on the campus at Disney will be guided by comprehensive league-wide health and safety protocols, which are based on the core principles of social distancing, mask-wearing, hand hygiene and COVID-19 testing.
