The National Basketball Association (NBA) announced on Friday the complete broadcast schedule for the 2023 Summer League, which will take place July 7-17 at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).
All 76 games of this year's 11-day competition will air live on television on the ESPN family of networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPNews) or NBA TV. Every Summer League game will be available for streaming purposes on the ESPN App or NBA App.
In the 18th Summer League in Las Vegas, all 30 NBA teams will play at least five games each during their time in Las Vegas. Each team will participate in four games from July 7-14. After each team plays in four games, the top four teams will qualify for the playoffs and will battle each other in the semifinals on Sunday, July 16 (4 p.m. ET on ESPN and 6 p.m. ET on ESPN2). The winning clubs from the semifinal games will clash for the Summer League title on Monday, July 17 at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN.
The four playoff teams will be determined based on the winning percentage during each team's first four games of Summer League competition. The 26 teams that do not advance to the playoffs will play a fifth game on either Saturday, July 15 or Sunday, July 16.
NBA TV will tip off its live game coverage with four games on Friday, July 7, beginning with the 2023 NBA Summer League opener between the New Orleans Pelicans and Minnesota Timberwolves at 4:30 p.m. ET.
The 2023 NBA Summer League will have at least six games in each of the first ten days of competition (Friday, July 7 - Sunday, July 16). The championship game will be the only game played on the final day (Monday, July 17).
The NBA Summer League in Las Vegas has a detailed history of featuring future NBA superstars/stars. Examples of current NBA superstars/stars playing the Summer League include Kia Most Valuable Player recipients Kevin Durant (two-time champion; who played in the Summer League back in 2007), Stephen Curry (four-time champion; 2009), James Harden (2009), Russell Westbrook (2009), Giannis Antetokoumpo (2021 champion; 2014) & Nikola Jokić (2023 champion; 2015).
And thanks to bigddan11, I can add that ALL NBA TV Summer Leagues games will also be available via a stream on ESPN3 and ESPN+.

ReplyDelete@bigddan11 My guy, thank you! I am assuming that the ESPN3/ESPN+ streams for the NBA TV Summer League games will use the same announcing talent that NBA TV plans to use? Plus, as a side note, your blog is amazing, man! I often visit your blog and read it several times a week. I like the content that you post. Keep up the great work.
