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.
