As summer swings into full gear, attention turns to the NBA 2K26 Summer League. This year`s event tips off in Salt Lake City and San Francisco with the California Classic this Saturday, before the action shifts to Las Vegas starting July 10.
A major focus this July will be on the No. 1 overall draft selection, Cooper Flagg, as his highly anticipated professional journey begins with the Dallas Mavericks. Flagg and his teammates are set to commence their Summer League campaign with a marquee matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, featuring the return of Bronny James (July 10, 8 p.m. ET, televised on ESPN).
The Mavericks` schedule includes several high-profile games. They are slated to face No. 2 pick Dylan Harper and the San Antonio Spurs (July 12, 4 p.m. ET, ESPN), No. 4 pick Kon Knueppel and the Charlotte Hornets (July 14, 6:30 p.m. ET, NBA TV), and No. 3 pick VJ Edgecombe with the Philadelphia 76ers (July 16, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Separately, Dylan Harper will also compete against his former Rutgers teammate, Ace Bailey, the No. 5 pick, when the San Antonio Spurs play the Utah Jazz on July 14 (8:30 p.m. ET, NBA TV).
The Summer League competition will culminate with the championship game on July 20 (10 p.m. ET, ESPN), wrapping up two weeks of exciting play. Stay tuned for the latest roster announcements and news as the league`s newest talents prepare to take the court.
