Warriors Host California Classic Summer League at Chase Center

The Golden State Warriors will host the seventh annual California Classic Summer League at San Francisco’s Chase Center from July 5-8, featuring games against the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and San Antonio Spurs. This year, the Sacramento Kings, who originally launched the event in 2018 and have alternated hosting duties with the Warriors, will not participate but are expected to host the 2026 edition. The tournament format is a round-robin where each team plays all others once, with games on July 5 and 6 open to fans and the final day broadcast-only. The California Classic serves as a showcase for recent draft picks and young players aiming to make NBA rosters ahead of the full league-wide Las Vegas Summer League held from July 10-20. The Warriors hold the No. 41 pick in the upcoming draft and are likely to feature that player in the event. The scale of the California Classic has varied recently, expanding up to eight teams in 2024 but returning to four teams for 2025, with the Spurs joining the event in recent years and the Kings sitting out this time.
