Preseason[edit]
The COVID-19 pandemic in North America, which pushed the conclusion of the previous 2019–20 season and playoffs into the fall, had delayed the start date of training camp to November 10, 2020.[32] The preseason began on December 11, 2020, and ended on December 19, 2020.[33]
Regular season[edit]
The start of the 2020–21 regular season was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The NBA initially set a target date of December 1, 2020, to start the regular season.[34] However, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver suggested further delaying the season until at least January because local health orders at each NBA city would limit fan attendance. The NBA receives 40 percent of its revenue from attendance, and thus delaying the season until it is safer to let more fans into the arenas would ease the financial pain.[34][35] The NBA is also contemplating organizing the schedule such that teams would have less travel, with back-to-back games in the same cities against the same opponent.[36] National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts also suggested that the season might eventually have to start inside a "bubble" environment, similar to the 2020 playoffs.[37]
On October 13, the NBA delayed the targeted start date of the regular season from December 2020 to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 18, 2021.[38] Later in October, however, Sports Illustrated reported that the NBA was targeting December 22, 2020, as the first day of the season.[39] On November 5, 2020, the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) tentatively approved a 72-game regular season that will begin on December 22, 2020. The season is expected to feature a condensed schedule so that the NBA Finals could be played once again in June, which will allow NBA players to participate in the 2020 Summer Olympics; the Olympics were postponed to 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan.[32][40][41]
On November 17, the NBA announced that the 72-game regular season would run from December 22 through May 16. Each team would play three games against each opponent from its own conference and two games against each interconference opponent. The season would include a six-day All-Star break from March 5 to 10, even though the All-Star Game and related festivities may be canceled.[42] The break serves to separate the two halves of the season. The schedule will be released in two parts. The first half was released in early December, while the second half will be released in the later part of the first half.[1]

Play-in tournament[edit]
The NBA will stage a "Play-in tournament" for teams ranked 7th through 10th in each conference from May 18–21. The 7th place team will play the 8th place team, with the winner earning the 7-seed. The 9th place team will play the 10th place team with the loser of that game being eliminated. The 7th-8th loser will then play the 9th-10th winner, with the winner of that game earning the 8-seed and the loser being eliminated.[1]
Postseason[edit]
The playoffs will begin on May 22 and operate under the standard playoff format, with four rounds of best-of-seven series. The 2021 NBA Finals will begin no later than July 8, with a potential Game 7 no later than July 22.[1]

Uniforms[edit]
On July 21, 2020, the NBA and Nike announced that the "Statement Edition" uniforms would switch to the Air Jordan label.[46]
Arenas[edit]
- The Denver Nuggets' home arena, formerly known as the Pepsi Center, was renamed Ball Arena on October 22, 2020.[47]
- The Phoenix Suns' home arena, formerly known as Talking Stick Resort Arena, was renamed PHX Arena after the naming rights deal expired on November 6, 2020.[48]
Temporary relocation of the Toronto Raptors to Tampa[edit]
As the NBA's plans for the 2020–21 season began to take shape, the Toronto Raptors were denied permission to play home games in Toronto as the Canadian federal government ruled that repeated cross-border trips by the Raptors and their opponents would be a major health risk due to the different levels of COVID-19 cases in the United States and Canada. This is similar to what happened to the Raptors' Major League Baseball counterpart, the Toronto Blue Jays, who were forced to play their 2020 home games in Buffalo.[49]
After looking at several U.S. cities,[50] the Raptors announced on November 20, 2020, that they would play their home games at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida to begin the season.[2]
COVID-19 restrictions[edit]
Six teams announced plans to admit in-person spectators within the start of the season.[51]
Team | Home games with spectators allowed | Limitations | Source |
---|---|---|---|
Atlanta | Some | First five home games played for family and friends only, planning to open to the public at 10% capacity on January 18, 2021. | [51] |
Cleveland | All | Capped at 10% capacity. | [51] |
Houston | All | Capped at 4,500. | [51] |
New Orleans | All | Capped at 750. | [51] |
Orlando | All | Capped at 4,000. | [51] |
San Antonio | None | The Spurs announced plans to begin hosting spectators on January 1, but announced on December 28 that this will be delayed indefinitely due to rising COVID-19 cases in the team's market. | [52] |
Toronto | Some | Played their first few home games in Tampa Bay capped at 20% capacity. On January 9, 2021, Amalie Arena operator Vanik Sports Group announced that both the Raptors and the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning will play behind closed doors until at least February 5, due to rising COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in the local market. | [53][51] |
Media[edit]
This is the fifth year of the current nine-year contracts with ABC, ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV.[54]
To reduce on-site staff, ESPN and TNT will leverage the home team's rightsholder as a host broadcaster for some of their games. They will send a neutral "world feed" and other camera feeds to the network, which will then add commentary and surrounding coverage. ESPN and TNT are also deploying additional cameras specific to their broadcasts, and ESPN may provide a supplemental on-site presence if the local broadcaster does not have enough capacity to support the host model. ESPN stated that some (roughly half) of their games, particularly marquee games exclusive to ESPN and ABC, would be produced on-site with an existing hybrid model (where some producers and graphics operators work from ESPN's studios in Bristol, Connecticut). TNT also planned to begin doing some games on-site beginning with Martin Luther King Jr. Day.[55][56]
On December 26, 2020, it was announced that Fox Sports Networks had acquired rights to simulcast 36 Toronto Raptors games locally in the Tampa Bay area through at least the first half of the season. All of the games will be carried via the Fox Sports Go app, with selected games to also air on television via Fox Sports Sun (15) and Fox Sports Florida (2).[57]

Draft[edit]
Round | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | School / club team |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 28 | Jaden McDaniels | SF | United States | Washington (Fr.) |
- This was a traded pick with the Oklahoma City Thunder that sent Danny Green and the draft rights to Jaden McDaniels to the Thunder in return for Dennis Schröder.[3]
- Before the start of the 2020 NBA draft period, the Lakers' first-round selection was held stuck as the 29th pick of the draft with their record being the second-best of all NBA teams behind the Milwaukee Bucks the prior season at 49–14 before the NBA suspended their season on March 12, 2020.[4] However, the Lakers did resume their season in the 2020 NBA Bubble, eventually winning their 17th championship there against the Miami Heat, leaving them a chance to move their first-round pick up or down for the 2020 draft. In the bubble, the Toronto Raptors ended up finishing with a better overall record than the Lakers, moving their first-round pick to the 28th selection instead, though still finishing as the best Western Conference team that season. The Lakers only held one first-round selection for this draft, as they traded their second-round pick to the Orlando Magic for the draft rights to Talen Horton-Tucker in last season's draft.[5]

The 2020–21 Golden State Warriors season is the 75th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), its 59th in the San Francisco Bay Area, and their second season playing home games at Chase Center. They are coached by Steve Kerr in his seventh year as head coach. The Warriors compete as members of the Western Conference's Pacific Division.
Previous season[edit]
The Warriors finished the 2019–20 season 15–50 to finish in last place in the Western Conference having the worst record in the Conference.
Preseason[edit]
The Warriors entered the season with a chance to come back into championship contention after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2012. With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the 2019–20 NBA season to be temporarily suspended, the Warriors had not played a game since March 2020.
On November 17, 2020, the NBA announced the 2020–21 season would begin on December 22, 2020.
The Warriors started the season with a healthy Stephen Curry, as he previously injured his second metacarpal bone in his left finger against the Phoenix Suns at Chase Center on October 30, 2019, causing him to miss 60 of the 65 games available and playing in 5 of those respective games. The Warriors also expect to have a healthy Kevon Looney, who was struggling with neuropathy for most of the season, as he only played 20 games. Klay Thompson was also expected to be healthy this season, but on November 19, 2020, it was announced that he would miss the entire season due to injuring his right Achilles tendon.[1] Thompson hasn't played in an NBA game since Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals.
As a result of being the worst team in the league, the Warriors received a lottery pick in the 2020 NBA draft. It turned out to be the second pick in the draft, and with that pick they drafted Memphis center James Wiseman.[2] They also selected point guard Nico Mannion with the 48th pick and shooting guard Justinian Jessup with the 51st pick.[3]
Draft[edit]
Round | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | School / club team |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2 | James Wiseman | C | United States | Memphis (Fr.) |
2 | 48 | Nico Mannion | PG | Italy | Arizona (Fr.) |
2 | 51 | Justinian Jessup | SG | United States | Boise State (Sr.) |
Before the start of the 2020 NBA draft period, the Warriors' selection was held stuck as the #1 selection of the draft with their record being the worst of all NBA teams the prior season at 15–50 before the NBA suspended their season on March 12, 2020 and cancelled the rest of Golden State's season by June 5.[4] As a result, they held the best odds to stay at #1 alongside the Minnesota Timberwolves and Cleveland Cavaliers for the 2020 draft, though also holding the highest odds to fall as low as the #5 pick with 47.9% odds of dropping there. The Warriors ended the 2020 NBA draft lottery with the #2 selection, dropping down one spot with the Timberwolves moving up to the #1 position. In addition to their first-round pick, the Warriors also gained two second-round picks from previous trades involving the Dallas Mavericks.

The 2020–21 NHL season is the 104th season of operation (103rd season of play) of the National Hockey League (NHL). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the regular season has been reduced to 56 games, tentatively scheduled to be held from January 13 to May 8, 2021. Due to COVID-19 cross-border travel restrictions imposed by the Government of Canada, the league will temporarily realign for this season, putting all seven Canadian teams into one division. The playoffs are then tentatively scheduled to run until July under a 16-team format with the top four teams from each division.[1]
League business[edit]
Collective bargaining agreement[edit]
The collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which had been in effect since the end of the 2012–13 NHL lockout, was set to enter its penultimate season in 2020–21.[2]
On July 10, 2020, the league reached an agreement to renew the CBA through the 2025–26 NHL season, including an increase of the minimum player salary to $750,000 from $700,000, increasing the maximum value of entry-level contracts, deferring 10% of player salaries for the 2020–21 season to cover costs associated with the pandemic (they will be paid back over three seasons beginning 2022–23), escrow of player salaries capped at 20% for this season and decreasing incrementally to 14-18%, 10%, and 6% over the three seasons that follow (with the 6% applying thereafter), doubling of the playoff bonus pool to $32 million, and an agreement for the NHL to negotiate a return to the 2022 and 2026 Winter Olympics (after being absent from the 2018 Winter Olympics).[3][4]
The CBA will be automatically renewed through 2026–27 if player escrow debt falls between $125 million and $250 million after the 2024–25 season.[4]

As part of the new CBA, the salary cap will remain at $81.5 million for the 2020–21 season. Future increases will occur incrementally until the league recovers from the financial impact of the pandemic.[3][4]
Rule changes[edit]
The league announced on December 22, 2020, that the offside rules have been modified so that players only have to break the plane of the blue line to be ruled onside instead of having to actually touch it with their skate.[5]
Player and puck tracking technology[edit]
For the first time, the league plans to use the league's player and puck tracking system in all 31 NHL arenas. The system will allow on-air features such as speed displays, puck tracking graphics, and marker graphics hovering above players (though not to the extremes on-air of the mid-90s FoxTrax experiment). The league had planned to deploy this technology to all 31 arenas by September 2019, but a change to its primary technology partner delayed implementation.[6]
Media rights[edit]
NBC Sports' current ten-year contract for U.S. national broadcast rights will expire after the 2020–21 season (marking its 15th season overall as an NHL broadcaster); the NHL has explored the possibility of splitting its national media rights between interested broadcasters,[7] and possibly signing with an over-the-top service (such as DAZN or ESPN+).[8] In any case, the league is looking to generate more revenue than the nearly US$2 billion total that NBC paid over the life of their 2011–12 to 2020–21 contract.[9] Sports Business Journal reported on June 15 that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NHL was delaying negotiations for its media rights to late-2020 or early-2021.[10]
In Canada, this will be the seventh season of the league's twelve-year rights deal with Rogers Sports & Media.[11] Sportsnet West has renewed its regional rights to the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers under a multi-year deal, which had expired at the end of the previous 2019–20 season.[12]
On October 5, 2020, the Winnipeg Jets renewed its regional television rights with TSN3 under a multi-year deal,[13] and announced that Corus Entertainment would assume the team's radio rights under a seven-year deal, with CJOB and CJKR-FM serving as co-flagships and both replacing CFRW. It marks the first time Winnipeg's NHL team will air on CJOB, since the original Winnipeg Jets.[14] The San Jose Sharks ended their radio relationship with KUFX and shifted to online-only audio broadcasts.[15]
NBC's lead play-by-play announcer Mike Emrick announced his retirement from broadcasting on October 19, 2020, after a 47-year career.[16] In January 2021, it was announced that Sportsnet commentator Dave Randorf would become the new play-by-play announcer for the Tampa Bay Lightning on Fox Sports Sun, succeeding Rick Peckham.[17]
Draft[edit]
The 2020 NHL Entry Draft was originally scheduled for June 26–27, 2020, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec,[18] but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[19] It took place on October 6 and 7 in a remote format, hosted from the NHL Network studios in Secaucus, New Jersey.[20][21] The New York Rangers were awarded the first pick in the 2020 Draft after winning the second phase of the draft lottery on August 10 and selected Alexis Lafreniere.[22]
Postponed All-Star, outdoor, and international games[edit]
The league had originally scheduled this season's international, All-Star, and outdoor games prior to the pandemic.
Two preseason games were planned to be played in Europe: the Boston Bruins against Adler Mannheim at SAP Arena in Mannheim, Germany, and the Nashville Predators against SC Bern at PostFinance Arena in Bern, Switzerland. In addition, three regular season games, were also planned: the Boston Bruins and Nashville Predators at O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic; and two games between the Colorado Avalanche and Columbus Blue Jackets at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland, later in the fall.[23]
The 2021 Winter Classic planned for January 1, 2021 was to feature the Minnesota Wild hosting the St. Louis Blues at Target Field. The Florida Panthers and their BB&T Center were then scheduled to host the All-Star Game on January 30, and the Stadium Series game was to be hosted by the Carolina Hurricanes at Carter–Finley Stadium on February 20, against an opponent yet to be announced.[24]
On May 8, 2020, the league postponed the five international games, aiming to reschedule them for the 2021–22 season.[25] The league then announced on October 22, 2020 that the Winter Classic and the All-Star Game were also being postponed to the next year due to "ongoing uncertainty" since fan participation are considered "integral to the[ir] success.[26][27] The decision to further postpone the Stadium Series game was made on December 23, also because fans would not be able to attend that event.[28]
Sponsorship[edit]
As a make-good to offset reduced revenue due to games being played with limited to no spectators, the NHL is experimenting with allowing teams to sell a sponsor placement on their players' helmets (helmet entitlement partner).[29][30][31]
On January 5, 2021, the NHL announced that the Central, East, North, and West divisions this season will be sponsored by Discover Card, MassMutual, Scotiabank, and Honda respectively.[32]

Arena changes[edit]
- The Colorado Avalanche's home arena was renamed from the Pepsi Center to Ball Arena on October 22, 2020.
- The New York Islanders are scheduled to play all of their home games for the 2020–21 season at Nassau Coliseum. The team had split their home games between Nassau and Barclays Center during the past two seasons. The Islanders plan to move to UBS Arena for the 2021–22 season.[55] In June 2020, Mikhail Prokhorov, whose company ran the Nassau Coliseum, announced that the Coliseum would be closed indefinitely while it seeks new investors to take it over and assume the remaining debt.[56] In August 2020, the Coliseum's new leaseholders said that the Islanders would continue to play their home games in the arena during the season.[57][58][59]
Regular season[edit]
The regular season was originally planned to begin in October 2020 and end in April 2021, but the plan had to be changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[60] In December, the league said that the season would be shorter than the typical 82 games.[61] Attendance at each arena will be limited by local health orders.[62] The league also relies on attendance for at least 50 percent of its revenue, and the players are against spending the full season isolated in neutral-site bubbles similar to their situation during the 2020 playoffs.[63]
In July 2020, the league and the NHL Players' Association (NHLPA) initially agreed to tentatively schedule the opening of training camp on November 17, 2020, and the start of the regular season on December 1.[21] In October 2020, both the NHL and NHLPA began discussions on the specific details on how to proceed with the season.[63] On October 6, the NHL and the NHLPA agreed to delay the targeted start date of the regular season to January 1, 2021, and to decide at a later date when to open training camp.[64]
In mid-November 2020, Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly stated that the league was still targeting a January 1 start, but that "we have to build in flexibility for the hiccups that we expect will come along and have to expect will come along with potential COVID positives and contact tracing requirements", citing "difficulties" faced by Major League Baseball and the National Football League over their handling of the pandemic.[65]
On December 20, the league unveiled its plans for a 56-game regular season and that the divisions would temporarily be realigned into four divisions.[66] In a first for a major professional sports league in North America, naming rights to the four divisions were sold to corporate sponsors:[67]
- Central: Carolina Hurricanes, Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators and Tampa Bay Lightning.
- East: Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals.
- North: Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks and Winnipeg Jets.
- West: Anaheim Ducks, Arizona Coyotes, Colorado Avalanche, Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota Wild, San Jose Sharks, St. Louis Blues and Vegas Golden Knights.
Teams will play games within their division only. The teams in the three U.S. divisions will play each of their seven division opponents eight times.[68] Due to limitations on travel into and out of Canada,[69] the seven Canadian teams have been aligned into a single North division. The seven teams in the North Division will play each other nine or ten times.[68]
Outdoor games[edit]
On January 1, 2021, it was reported that the NHL was planning two outdoor games at the Edgewood Tahoe Resort in Lake Tahoe on February 20 and 21, with the Flyers playing the Bruins and the Avalanche playing the Golden Knights. It was suggested that the cancellation of stadium-based outdoor games due to reduced fan involvement had led the NHL to pursue outdoor games in scenic locations instead.[70] The NHL officially confirmed the games, NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe, on January 11, 2021.[71]
Postponed games[edit]
[edit]
- The San Jose Sharks' home opener has been pushed to February 1 due to Santa Clara County indefinitely banning all contact sports in response to a local rise of COVID-19 cases, forcing the Sharks to begin the season on an extended road trip.[72]
- The Dallas Stars' first four games (road contests against the Florida Panthers on January 14 and 15 and the Tampa Bay Lightning on January 17 and 19) were postponed after six Dallas players and two staff members tested positive for COVID-19 by January 8.[73]
Playoffs[edit]
The top four teams in each division will qualify for 2021 playoffs under this season's temporary realignment. The first two rounds of the playoffs will be played under a pure divisional format, with the first-place team in each division playing the fourth-place team, and the second-place team playing the third-place team. The winners of those series will then play each other in the second round. The four teams that then advance to the third round, dubbed the Stanley Cup Semifinals, will be re-seeded based on regular season points. All rounds will be best-of-7.[66]
Uniforms[edit]
Wholesale team changes[edit]
- The Buffalo Sabres reintroduced their original royal blue, gold and white uniforms full-time, worn by the team from 1970 to 1996.[74]
- The Calgary Flames reintroduced their original red, yellow, and white uniforms, worn by the team from 1980 to 1994. The design had been used as an alternate, retro jersey in recent seasons. The team's primarily red and black former home sweater will be the alternate jersey going forward.[75]
- The Dallas Stars introduced new alternate black and neon green uniforms.[76]
- The Ottawa Senators reintroduced its 1997–2007 logo, with a gold outline as opposed to red, and a uniform set similar to the jerseys used from 1992 to 1995.[77]
- The San Jose Sharks reintroduced their original Heritage jersey worn by the team from 1991 to 1998, to be worn during select games to celebrate their 30th anniversary.[78]
- The Vegas Golden Knights introduced new alternate metallic gold uniforms.[79]

The 2020–21 Anaheim Ducks season is the 28th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 15, 1993.[1] The Ducks will attempt to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2017–18 season, when they were swept in the First Round of the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs by the San Jose Sharks. On December 20, 2020, the league temporarily realigned into four divisions with no conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing closure of the Canada-United States border. As a result of this realignment the Ducks will play this season in the West Division and will only play games against the other teams in their new division during the regular season and potentially the first two rounds of the playoffs.

Roster departures[edit]
On October 28, 2020, after the conclusion of the World Series, seven Dodgers players became free agents: Third Baseman Justin Turner, Outfielder Joc Pederson, utility player Kiké Hernández, and pitchers Pedro Báez, Jake McGee, Blake Treinen, and Alex Wood.[3] A couple of days later, the Dodgers declined the 2021 option on pitcher Jimmy Nelson's contract, making him a free agent.[4] Outfielder and pinch runner Terrance Gore was outrighted to the minors and removed from the Dodgers roster on October 31.[5]
Roster additions[edit]
On December 2, the Dodgers acquired relief pitcher Corey Knebel from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.[6] On December 29, the Dodgers acquired pitcher Garrett Cleavinger from the Philadelphia Phillies as part of a three-team trade that sent José Alvarado to the Phillies and minor leaguer Dillon Paulson and a player to be named later to the Tampa Bay Rays.[7] Also on the same day, they signed pitcher Tommy Kahnle toa two-year contract.[8] On January 5, the Dodgers re-signed pitcher Blake Treinen to a two-year contract.[9]
