The ninth season of BIG3 basketball is here. Beginning on June 20, eight teams will compete over an eight-week season before one squad is crowned.

Last year, Miami 305 took home the title after game MVP Michael Beasley scored 25 points with 12 rebounds. However, it took a game-winning 3-pointer for Mario Chalmers to seal the 52-48 win over the Chicago Triplets.

Many of the same former NBA stars are returning, including Beasley, Chalmers, Dwight Howard, and Joe Johnson. The newest addition to the BIG3 is 12-year NBA veteran Derrick Favors, who signed with the Houston Big Rigs. A star-studded coaching list remains as well, including Julius Erving, Gary Payton and Nancy Lieberman.

Founded by rapper and actor Ice Cube and entertainment executive Jeff Kwatinetz, the 3-on-3 league will visit major cities across the U.S. throughout the summer, concluding with the championship game in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Aug. 22.

Here is everything you need to know about the 2026 BIG3 season, including TV and streaming options for games.
