When Will the 2021-22 NBA Season Start?
The 2021-22 NBA season is set to start on October 19th. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to ravage the United States, it is possible that the season may start later than expected.
Introduction
The 2021-22 NBA season is set to begin on October 19, 2021. The regular season will conclude on April 10, 2022, with the playoffs set to begin shortly thereafter. The NBA Finals are tentatively scheduled to start on June 2, 2022.
NBA Season Length
The NBA season is 82 games long, with each team playing 41 home games and 41 away games. The regular season starts in late October and ends in mid-April. The playoffs start in late April, and the Finals usually end in early June.
NBA Season Start Dates
The NBA regular season typically runs from late October to mid-April. The 2021-22 season is tentatively scheduled to begin on Tuesday, October 19, 2021, and end on Sunday, April 10, 2022. The playoffs will then start a week later, on April 16 or 17, and conclude in mid-June.
In recent years, the NBA has been experimenting with starting the regular season earlier than usual in order to reduce the number of games played on Christmas Day and increase the chances of having all its teams available for nationally televised games on that day. As a result, the 2020-21 season is set to begin on Tuesday, December 22, 2020.
NBA Season Structure
The NBA regular season is 82 games long, and it typically starts in October and ends in April. The playoffs are a single-elimination tournament that starts in April and ends in June, with the NBA Finals being the last series of the playoffs.
The NBA has gone through some changes over the past few years, most notably with the addition of the 10-day rest period and the elimination of back-to-back games. With these changes, it is unlikely that the 2021-22 NBA season will start any earlier than December 1, 2021.
Conclusion
The 2021-22 NBA season is still up in the air, but we do know that it won’t start until at least December 1, 2021. The season was originally supposed to start on October 16, 2020, but it was pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will update this article as more information becomes available.
