The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings will again share hosting duties for the California Classic Summer League, the teams confirmed Monday in separate press releases.
The eighth edition of the preseason tournament is scheduled for July 3-6 and will be split between the Warriors’ Chase Center in San Francisco and the Kings’ Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
At Chase Center, games on July 3, 5 and 6 will feature the Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers. Golden State will also field a second squad in Sacramento, where the Kings, Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets will join the action from July 4-6.
The California Classic, along with the Salt Lake City Summer League, will provide an early look at members of the 2026 draft class before all 30 NBA teams convene for the Las Vegas Summer League from July 9-19. Several lottery selections are expected to appear in the California event, as the Warriors, Kings, Nets, Bucks and Heat currently project to hold picks inside the top 13.
After the Kings hosted the first three California Classics, the two Northern California franchises have alternated responsibilities, teaming up in 2024 and again this year.
