The NBA 2K League returned to Loco for the 2021 regular-season and season-long competition. The 16-week season tipped off Wednesday, May 19 with THE TIPOFF Powered by AT&T, and will conclude Saturday, Sept. 4 with the 2021 NBA 2K League Finals Delivered by DoorDash.
Continuing the partnership that tipped off with 2020 NBA 2K League Playoffs and Finals Delivered by DoorDash, NBA 2K League games will be streamed every week, Thursday-Sunday 7 p.m. IST onwards on the platform. Across the 23 team rosters, the 2021 season will feature 10 international players from five countries and territories.
For the first time, the NBA 2K League will be aligned into two conferences, the Eastern Conference, and the Western Conference, with each team playing both inter- and intra-conference matchups. The 23 teams will play 28 regular-season games each. The top five teams in each conference at the end of the regular season will automatically qualify for the NBA 2K League Playoffs. The 13 remaining teams will compete in THE TICKET, with the winning teams from each conference earning the 11th and 12th spots in the playoffs. The NBA 2K League will award $1.5 million in prize money across THE TIPOFF, THE TURN, and the playoffs.
