The CBA new season schedule has been released! Starting on December 12, with 42 rounds of games, the opening match features Guangsha vs Shanxi.

On October 21 Beijing time, following an extended break, the full schedule for the upcoming CBA season has been confirmed. The new season will begin on December 12 and will include 42 rounds of matches. The opener features the reigning champions Guangsha facing the dark horse Shanxi, immediately capturing widespread interest!

Fans who regularly follow the CBA know that usually the new season starts around October. However, since this year is the quadrennial National Games year, to accommodate the National Games in November, the CBA had to delay the start. This also allows players more rest time. Similar to last year, the new season will be divided into groups, with 42 rounds in total. The league still has 20 teams with no promotion or relegation. Many teams have been strengthening their rosters during the offseason, though some like the defending champion Guangsha remain unchanged.

Last season, Guangsha fought through tough competition and defeated many strong teams to claim their first-ever CBA league championship, marking a historic achievement after years of effort. As the defending champions in the new season, they will face significant challenges, with the biggest question being whether Guangsha can repeat as champions. Other traditional powerhouses like Guangdong, Liaoning, Xinjiang, and Beijing will certainly be aiming to challenge Guangsha!

The new season's regular games will start in December and run until April next year. The opening game, featuring the defending champion Guangsha against Shanxi, promises to be a high-stakes showdown, setting an intense tone right away. Both teams were semifinalists last season and are expected to bring fierce competition, each eager to secure a winning start. We look forward to the new season—let’s watch closely and cheer on!
