The answer to how many games are in an NBA season may vary depending on the year.
Get the answer for the 2019-2020 NBA season and find out how many games each team plays.
82 Games
There are 82 games in the NBA regular season. The schedule is released in August, and the season starts in October and ends in April. Each team plays 41 home games and 41 away games, for a total of 82 games.
60 Games
The 2019-2020 NBA regular season was originally supposed to consist of 82 games per team. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the season was reduced to 60 games.
48 Games
The NBA released its schedule for the 2020-21 season on Monday, and it will be a short one.
The season will begin on December 22 and end on May 16, a span of just over four months. That’s shorter than the typical NBA season, which is six months long.
There will be 48 games this season, instead of the usual 82. That’s because the league had to start later than usual due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic also caused the league to cancel its pre-season games.
Teams will play eight games against each of their opponents in their own conference, and they’ll play two games against teams in the other conference. That means that each team will play a total of 40 conference games and eight non-conference games.
The playoffs will start on May 22 and continue through June 27, with the NBA Finals taking place between July 8 and July 22.
66 Games
After much discussion and negotiation, the NBA has finally released the schedule for the 2020-21 season. This year, each team will play 66 games in order to accommodate the late start due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The season will begin on December 22, 2020 and end on May 16, 2021.
50 Games
This year, the NBA will play 50 regular-season games instead of the usual 82 games. This is due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The regular season will start on December 22nd and end on May 16th. The playoffs will start on May 22nd and end no later than July 22nd.
58 Games
This season, each NBA team will play 58 regular-season games instead of the usual 82.
The league said the pandemic forced the schedule change, which will see teams playing within their own conference.
The regular season is set to begin on December 22 and end on May 16. The playoffs will start on May 22 and the NBA Finals are scheduled for July 22.
44 Games
The NBA regular season is 82 games long, which is played over a span of about six months. This season, the NBA will start on December 22nd and end on April 11th. The All-Star game is played on the first Sunday of February, and the playoffs start a little over a month later.
42 Games
This year, the NBA regular season is set to consist of 42 games. This is down from the traditional 82 game season, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The shortened season will begin on December 22nd and run through to May 16th. The playoffs will then commence shortly afterwards, with the NBA Finals set to take place in July.
40 Games
This year, the NBA will play 40 regular-season games before the playoffs. The schedule was released on December 4th, 2020. Teams will play each other twice, once at home and once on the road. The playoffs will start on May 22nd and will end on July 22nd. The Finals will start on July 7th and will end on July 17th.
