The league's 29 teams will be separated into four regional pods,
where each team will play 12 games against one another.
The teams with the best winning percentage in each pod, plus the
next four teams across the league in terms of winning
percentage, will compete for the Showcase Cup at a
single-elimination tournament during the G League Winter
Showcase from Dec. 19-22.
The remaining teams will each play two games outside of the
Showcase Cup.
Three new franchises will be in action this season in the NBA's
developmental league.
The Birmingham Squadron make their debut against the Greensboro
Swarm on Nov. 5. The Motor City Cruise open against the
Cleveland Charge on Nov. 6. The Fort Worth, Texas-based
Capitanes de la Ciudad de Mexico begin play Nov. 5 against the
Memphis Hustle.
Following the Showcase Cup, team records will be reset. The
36-game regular season will begin on Dec. 27, bringing each
team's total games played to 50. The top six teams in each
conference quality for the playoffs.
The NBA G League Ignite and the Capitanes will compete in the
Showcase Cup but will not take part in the 36-game regular
season.
