The 2026 NBA season is months away, but professional basketball has returned with the 2025 NBA Summer League play. This year’s Summer Leagues are a multi-city showcase with the California Classic and Salt Lake City events from July 5–8, before moving to the main stage with the NBA 2K26 Summer League in Las Vegas from July 10–20. All games will stream live on ESPN+.
After last month’s draft, this summer, the NBA’s future will be on full display with big names participating across the three leagues. Cooper Flagg (No. 1 pick, Mavericks) opens in Vegas opposite the second-year player Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers on July 10, followed by a clash of back-to-back picks when Dylan Harper (No. 2, Spurs) takes on VJ Edgecombe (No. 3, 76ers).
All 30 teams will be on display, playing at least five games each in Vegas, and you can find out how to watch each NBA Summer League 2025 game below.
