How the election led to all 30 NBA teams playing in one night

All the news leading up to the presidential election has undoubtedly been stressful for many people out there. But if you’re an NBA fan, the election has given you at least one thing to be grateful for.

Monday night will feel like a fever dream in the best way possible. All 30 NBA teams will be in action for the first time this season. The NBA made the scheduling decision to go completely dark on Tuesday in an attempt to give all of its fans time to vote.

A new NBA game will start every 15 minutes from 7 p.m. ET until 10 p.m. ET.

Shoutout to all of the NBA League Pass fiends out there. Tonight is your night, folks.

30 teams.
15 games.
15 minutes apart.

Can a Monday in November get any better?

Catch ALL the action on NBA TV and NBA League Pass!

This isn’t the first time the NBA has done this. The league also took election day off in 2022. Just like this go round, all 30 teams played the night before.
