About National Basketball Association

National Basketball Association (NBA) is a basketball league of 30 clubs playing the 2026-27 season. The league is split into six divisions. A full NBA season is 82 games for each club, running from October to June. 16 of the 30 clubs reach the playoffs, so a 2026-27 season is as much about surviving the schedule as winning any one night of it. The divisions are Atlantic, Central, Northwest, Pacific, Southeast, and Southwest. Every club's schedule, roster and results live on its own page, and the standings on this one link straight to them.

In the most recent round of games on July 19, the Warriors beat the Grizzlies 94-90, the Nuggets beat the Raptors 96-89, and the Nets beat the Thunder 108-90. Next up, the Heat visit the Raptors on October 3, the Jazz visit the Nuggets on October 4, and the Suns visit the Pistons on October 5.

Coverage runs on every NBA game rather than a selection: a preview before tip-off with the line and the matchup keys, a recap after it with the final, the box score and the standouts, plus a weekly rundown of where the 2026-27 season stands and breaking NBA news as it lands. Follow any club above and both land in your inbox, free.
