Skyforce Announces Complete 2023-24 Schedule

The Sioux Falls Skyforce announced today its official schedule, presented by POET, for the 2023-24 NBA G League season.

The complete schedule includes the normal slate of 50 games, featuring 24 home games, 24 road matchups and two neutral site competitions. The G League will continue its Showcase Cup series for the first 16 games. A 32-game regular season follows the Showcase Cup.

Showcase Cup and Showcase Cup Championship:

All 31 G League franchises will begin the season by competing in a 16-game Showcase Cup. This will be a continuation from the last two seasons. Teams are broken up into four regional pods in which the first 16 games of the Showcase Cup will be played. These games will be hosted in home markets, meaning the Skyforce will host home games as it normally would leading up to the NBA G League Winter Showcase in December. After the first 16 games, the team with the best winning percentage from each pod, along with the four next-best teams, will enter a single-elimination tournament to be played at the Winter Showcase, culminating in a trophy and a monetary prize for the winning team. Teams who do not qualify to compete for the Showcase Cup Championship will play two games outside of the tournament format as a part of the Winter Showcase.

The Skyforce opens the season on November 11 at home against the Indiana Mad Ants. Tip-off is slated for 7:00 PM CST at the Sanford Pentagon. Five of the first eight games of the Showcase Cup will be at home.

Regular Season Format:

Following the Showcase Cup Championship, NBA G League team records will reset, and a traditional 36-game regular season will be played. For the Skyforce, the slate of regular season games tips off with a road doubleheader against the Santa Cruz Warriors on December 28-29. For this portion of the season, teams will be split into Eastern and Western Conferences, with 2024 playoff participation based solely on records within the 36-game regular season. The top six teams from each conference will advance to the playoffs, concluding in a traditional NBA G League Finals matchup to determine the league’s champion.

Rip City Rush, the newest member of the NBA G League travels to Sioux Falls on February 2-3 (7:00 PM CST tip-off for both games). The Skyforce also hosts G League Ignite for the first time in the regular season on December 31 (3:00 PM CST) and January 2 (6:30 PM CST).

The Skyforce’s longest home stand will be four-straight home games from March 23-March 30. Sioux Falls plays at home in eight-of-10 games in March, six of which are weekend dates.

Information regarding single-game tickets will be released at a later date. Season tickets and flex packs for the 2023-24 season are on sale now. For more information, contact a representative at 605-332-0605 or stop into the Skyforce offices at 2131 S. Minnesota Ave.
