The 2025 NBA Summer League is scheduled to take place from July 5th through July 20th this year. Technically the NBA 2K26 is the official Summer League playing all games in Las Vegas, Nevada. Just like last summer, we’ll also get to see teams in action in the California Classic and the Salt Lake City Summer League. Of course, the big question for Mavs and other NBA fans is will Cooper Flagg play? We’ll have to wait and see.
2025 NBA Summer League Schedule

What Teams Play in the 2025 NBA Summer League?
Since 2018, the NBA 2K26 Summer League has all NBA teams participating in it. We also get two smaller opportunities to watch new prospects and other players getting work in (whether G League, or just former rookies going on year 2 or 3). Sometimes, we’ll see players participate in a just a few of the games depending on injuries, etc. Either way, it’s a nice break for everyone while we’re in the sports doldrums with only MLB ongoing until it’s time for the college and NFL football season.
