The NBA regular season is still a week away, but the league is already gearing up for its in-season tournament.

The league on Tuesday unveiled the specialty courts that all 30 teams will use during NBA Cup games this upcoming season.

The NBA first installed custom courts during the inaugural in-season tournament in 2023, and it has changed up the design for teams each edition of the competition.

Some court staples have been consistent in recent years, namely the colorful floors and the NBA Cup design at half court and in the paint.

This year’s designs include a handful of new features. There are oversized team wordmarks on both sides of the court, primary logos at center court and the tournament tagline — “30 Teams. 8 Advance. 1 Champion.” — near the 3-point line.
