It Has Been Revealed When New Teams May Join the NBA

According to ESPN, the National Basketball Association (NBA) is eyeing the 2027/28 season as the target date for the introduction of new teams. 

The league is not rushing into expansion, making the 2026/27 season increasingly unlikely for the debut of any new franchises. Currently, the NBA is awaiting the completion of the sale of the Boston Celtics to assess the true value of franchises and to calculate potential earnings from expansion.

Cities vying for the introduction of new NBA teams include Seattle, Las Vegas, and Mexico City.
