NBA G League releases full game and TV schedule for 2021 season

The NBA G League on Wednesday released the full 135-game and TV schedule for the 2021 season set to tip off Feb. 10 at the Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando, Florida.

18 teams, including the NBA G League Ignite, will each play 15 games through March 6. The top eight teams from the regular season will then advance to a single-elimination playoff, set to begin March 8 with the NBA G League Final to take place on March 11.

Over the course of the season, 14 regular-season games will air on either ESPN2 or ESPNU while ESPN+ will broadcast 100-plus contests. In addition, 12 games will be televised on NBA TV with each of those to also be simulcast on Twitch.

A maximum of six games per day will run across two venues on the campus of the Wide World of Sports Complex. The season will not feature division or conference alignment of teams and no team will play an opponent more than once.

Players, coaches, team and league staff living on the campus at Disney will be guided by comprehensive league-wide health and safety protocols, which are based on the core principles of social distancing, mask-wearing, hand hygiene and COVID-19 testing.

Teams were expected to arrive in Orlando this week to begin a mandatory quarantine period. Players will be tested daily for the coronavirus and must register three negative PCR tests at least 24 hours apart before receiving clearance to play.
