BIRMINGHAM SQUADRON ANNOUNCE FULL 2024-25 SCHEDULE

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The NBA G League officially announced the Birmingham Squadron’s full schedule, including both Tip-Off Tournament and regular season slates Tuesday.

Highlighted by 24 home games, the Squadron begins its fourth season in the Magic City at home on Nov. 9 to celebrate Hoops for Troops against the Mexico City Capitanes at Legacy Arena at the BJCC.

For the fourth season, the NBA G League schedule will be divided into two parts: the newly minted 16-game Tip-Off Tournament, followed by a 34-game regular season.   All 31 NBA G League teams will compete in at least 50 games during the 2024-25 season.

The Tip-Off Tournament, which marks the start of the 2024-25 season, begins on Friday, Nov. 8 and culminates when a champion is crowned during the 2024 NBA G League Winter Showcase in December.  For the Tip-Off Tournament, teams are placed into four regions to play 14 games exclusively against each other.  The teams with the best winning percentage in each region, along with the next four teams with the best winning percentages regardless of region, will advance to compete for the Championship at the NBA G League Winter Showcase.  Every team will play at least two games at the Winter Showcase.

Following the Tip-Off Tournament, team records will reset before the 34-game regular season, which begins on Friday, Dec. 27.  At the conclusion of the regular season, the top six teams in each conference will qualify for the NBA G League Playoffs presented by Google Pixel, which conclude with the NBA G League Finals presented by YouTube TV in April 2025.

During the pre-holiday break Tip-Off Tournament, Birmingham is in the South region along with Mexico City, Austin Spurs, Texas Legends, Oklahoma City Blue, Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Memphis Hustle and Osceola Magic.

The annual NBA G League Winter Showcase event is scheduled for Dec. 19-22 at a neutral site.

The Squadron compete as part of the Eastern Conference for the second consecutive season and the 2024-25 NBA G League regular season tips off on the road for Birmingham on Dec. 27 at Raptors 905 in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The Squadron’s first home contest of the regular season is slated for Jan. 10 against the Capital City Go-Go.

Birmingham’s regular season home slate is highlighted by theme nights such as STEM Fest on Dec. 4 when the Squadron host the Osceola Magic, HBCU Night on Jan. 25 versus the Indiana Mad Ants and Literacy Day on March 4 against the Delaware Blue Coats. A full promotional schedule, including game giveaways, will be released at a later date.
