As summer is fully underway, attention turns towards the NBA 2K26 Summer League. The action is set to commence in Salt Lake City and San Francisco with the California Classic starting this Saturday, before moving to Las Vegas on July 10 for the main event.
A major focus this July will be on the Dallas Mavericks and the highly anticipated beginning of the professional career of the No. 1 draft pick, Cooper Flagg. Flagg`s team is scheduled for a high-profile start to their summer league games, including a matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, which will once again feature Bronny James (July 10, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN).
The Mavericks` schedule features several key matchups against other top draft picks. They will face the San Antonio Spurs with No. 2 pick Dylan Harper (July 12, 4 p.m. ET, ESPN), the Charlotte Hornets with No. 4 pick Kon Knueppel (July 14, 6:30 p.m. ET, NBA TV), and the Philadelphia 76ers with No. 3 pick VJ Edgecombe (July 16, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Another notable game features Dylan Harper squaring off against his former Rutgers teammate, No. 5 pick Ace Bailey, and the Utah Jazz on July 14 (8:30 p.m. ET, NBA TV).
The summer league concludes with the championship game on July 20 (10 p.m. ET, ESPN), following two weeks of competition. Before the games begin, get updated on the latest roster changes and news as the young prospects prepare to take the court.
