Both the California Classic and Salt Lake City summer leagues have wrapped up, so it's time to focus on the main event of the offseason: NBA 2K26 Las Vegas Summer League.

The 11-day tournament begins Thursday and runs through July 20, with a champion crowned at the end.

The event will be headlined by the fresh faces of the 2025 draft class, as well as other recent draftees such as Bronny James, Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham, and unsigned veterans looking for open spots on rosters across the league. Top 2025 picks Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper and VJ Edgecombe will all be in action Thursday as games tip off.

After each team plays four games, the top four teams will advance to the playoffs. The two semifinal games will take place July 19, with the championship game July 20. The other 26 teams will play a fifth game between July 18-20.
