While the games don’t count toward the regular season standings, they often provide the first look at how a team’s newest additions fit into the organization’s future plans.
Why It Matters
For Orlando Magic fans, Summer League marks the unofficial beginning of the 2026–27 season. It’s the first opportunity to evaluate this year’s draft class and watch the organization’s young talent compete against other NBA prospects before training camp begins.
The annual event has grown into one of the NBA’s premier offseason showcases, attracting fans, scouts, and national television coverage as all 30 NBA teams gather in Las Vegas.
Although Summer League takes place in Las Vegas, excitement will quickly shift back to Orlando as preseason and regular season preparations begin. Fans will get an early look at the organization’s newest talent before the team returns to Kia Center later this year.
