September 3, 2024 - NBA G League (G League) News Release
NEW YORK - The NBA G League today released its complete game schedule for the 2024-25 season, which tips off on Friday, Nov. 8. The new season features 31 teams, including the newly formed Valley Suns, the affiliate of the Phoenix Suns, and the rebranded San Diego Clippers, the affiliate of the LA Clippers. For the first time, all 30 NBA teams have an owned or operated NBA G League affiliate.
For the fourth season, the NBA G League schedule will be divided into two parts: the newly minted 16-game Tip-Off Tournament, followed by a 34-game regular season. All 31 NBA G League teams will compete in at least 50 games during the 2024-25 season.
The Tip-Off Tournament, which marks the start of the 2024-25 season, begins on Friday, Nov. 8 and culminates when a champion is crowned during the 2024 NBA G League Winter Showcase in December. For the Tip-Off Tournament, teams are placed into four regions to play 14 games exclusively against each other. The teams with the best winning percentage in each region, along with the next four teams with the best winning percentages regardless of region, will advance to compete for the Championship at the NBA G League Winter Showcase. Every team will play at least two games at the Winter Showcase.
Following the Tip-Off Tournament, team records will reset before the 34-game regular season, which begins on Friday, Dec. 27. At the conclusion of the regular season, the top six teams in each conference will qualify for the NBA G League Playoffs presented by Google Pixel, which conclude with the NBA G League Finals presented by YouTube TV in April 2025.
