This page will keep track of the brackets and history of the annual NBA Cup's Knockout Round stage (formerly known as the In-Season Tournament). The NBA Cup is annual tournament that takes place during the regular season of the NBA: Summer Series.

The NBA Cup debuted during the 2024 Summer Series season. 

The NBA Cup is split two sections: Group Play and the Knockout Rounds. During the Group Play stage, each of the league's current 30 franchises play four group play games versus other members of their particular group. Each conference is split into three groups, with five teams comprising each group. At the end of Group Play, each of the six group winners alongside a wild card team qualify for the Knockout Rounds, and thus continuing their push towards the NBA Cup championship.

Following the Group Play stage, the NBA Cup moves ahead to the Knockout Rounds. Just like in college basketball, these Knockout Rounds are single-elimination, meaning you must win your game in order to advance to the next round. Eight teams will be a part of the Knockout Rounds stage. Four quarterfinal games will be held at the team's primary home venue. Then, the semifinals and championship game of the NBA Cup move to a neutral site (ex.: Las Vegas in 2024).
