Macau concessionaire Sands China has signed a multi-year partnership with the National Basketball Association (NBA) to bring NBA games back to Macau, including two pre-season games between the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns in October 2025.

Details of the new partnership were unveiled at a press conference on Friday attended by Patrick Dumont – the President and COO of Sands China’s parent company Las Vegas Sands – and NBA Vice Chairman Mark Tatum. The two games in 2025 are scheduled to take place on 10 and 12 October at The Venetian Arena.

“We have entered into a multi-year agreement with the NBA to bring the NBA China Game to Sands China in 2025,” said Dumont.

“Sports and sporting events have always been important to Macau’s tourism development, and Sands China has sponsored and hosted many important sporting events over the years. Basketball fans from all over the world will gather in Macau next October to witness this exciting occasion.”

Macau last hosted NBA preseason games in 2007 which included a Cleveland Cavaliers team featuring Lebron James and an Orlando Magic side boasting Dwight Howard.

It is also the first visit of the NBA to China in six years, with the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets having played in Shanghai in 2019.

Investment in sports tourism formed a key part of concessionaire pledges under the 10-year concessions they signed with the Macau SAR Government in late 2022.
