Greetings everyone,

I hope you all had a great experience in the league this season. While it was a bit discouraging to see a large number of forfeits, I completely understand that this is a corporate work league and many participants are balancing demanding work schedules. Your continued participation and effort are truly appreciated.

Given all of this, I will certainly take these experiences into account and look to improve the overall experience should we run another corporate league in the future. With that in mind, I wanted to share that the playoffs will officially begin next week. There are still a couple of regular season games to be completed today and tomorrow, which will finalize the remaining matchups.

Matchups for next week have already been updated, with Level 2 and Level 3 now finalized. Level 1 and Level 4 matchups will be finalized and posted no later than Friday morning.

To review your playoff schedule/brackets, and divisional standings, please visit nycbbl.com/playoffs and nycbbl.com/division

To RSVP for your upcoming games, please visit nycbbl.com/team or nycbbl.com/matchup

Please note that, as the season has already been extended multiple times, these playoff dates are firm. 

All four levels will have their divisional championship games on 2/24/26 followed by the PwC Cup on 2/26/26. 

The winner of the two PwC Cup games will face off at the Barclays Center on the Main Court in March. I am closing in and finalizing on a date as we speak.

Rosters are now locked. Only active PwC employees are eligible to participate in this league. Teams considering adding players during the upcoming playoffs should be aware that this may result in automatic forfeits. Substitute players are strictly prohibited in the playoffs, and any team found in violation will incur an automatic loss. To be eligible for the playoffs, all players must have participated in at least three (3) regular season games, unless a work-related/medical exemption applies. This is to prevent unfair advantages to a single elimination playoff game. 

Players are strongly encouraged to wear their NYCBBL jerseys during the playoffs. Players who do not have their NYCBBL jerseys can be subjected to technical fouls at the start of the game.

Best of luck in the upcoming playoffs. 

Greetings everyone

Hope everyone had a safe weekend from the weather. League games resume tonight! Any postponed games due to closures from Monday 1/26 will be rescheduled to later in February and will be added to your portals by the end of this week.

As you enter the facilities, we kindly ask that you be mindful of tracking in slush or salt from outside whenever possible. Please avoid stepping onto the gym floor with your outside shoes.

Thank you for your cooperation. 

Greetings everyone,

Happy New Year and Happy Friday!

I wanted to share a few important updates as we dive into this MASSIVE Winter season next week. As of now, registrations are officially CLOSED, in which we’re excited to welcome what is shaping up to be a record-breaking season with 193 (!!!) teams participating this Winter.

Because each team has unique scheduling preferences and constraints, it is going take me a little extra time to finalize the complete the schedule. I truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. As per usual, I can only accomodate your team's requests if you keep your scheduling preferences up-to-date. To do this, please visit nycbbl.com/roster and edit Team Settings.

Additionally, please note that there have been several scheduling and divisional balance adjustments across the league. As a result, your team may be placed in a new division and could see minor schedule changes in the coming weeks. This is a normal part of the early season, and we anticipate there may be one more round of division adjustments before the season concludes.

For any new teams that recently signed up in the past week, your team will not likely be on the schedule until the week of 1/26/26. This is due to the on-going PwC League that is still happening, in addition to MLK Day (1/19) being a blackout date across the league. Please be patient as I work on getting your team slotted into the schedule.

For those new to the league, team jerseys will be available at your first scheduled game. We kindly ask that one team member collects and takes home any remaining jerseys, as we’re unable to store any leftover belongings at school facilities.

To RSVP for your upcoming games, please visit your team dashboard or go directly to:

Thank you for being a part of the NYC Basketball League. What a fun season we have ahead! Please be sure to follow us on Instagram @nycbasketballleague for special announcements and offers! We have some surprises coming for you all this Winter!

Hi everyone,

Thank you again to everyone at PwC for participating in the NYC Basketball League. I hope you’ve had a great experience so far. The PwC league is officially on break until January 5th, 2026.

The schedule for the first two weeks of January has been updated. The final week of the regular season (Week 9) will take place the week of January 19, 2026, with all remaining regular season games being played during that time. 

The playoffs are scheduled to officially begin the week of January 26th. Playoff brackets will be released in the next week and you can visit nycbbl.com/playoffs once it's released.

If you have any questions or concerns about the PwC league, please feel free to reach out to Jerry Teng at jerry.t.teng@pwc.com or to me at dicky@nycsportsleagues.com. Thank you!

On behalf of everyone here at NYC Basketball, wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season🎄

Greetings all,

Please be advised that the opening rounds of the play-in tournament and Round 1 of the playoffs have been updated and uploaded for next week (week of 12/1)

Kindly review your team’s schedule and bracket, as the following divisions may be scheduled to play twice within the same week:

• 2018 LEBRON
• 2001 SHAQ
• 2009 KOBE
• 2016 STEPH
• 2003 GARNETT
• 2005 DUNCAN
• 2012 LEBRON
• 2023 JOKIC
• 2005 KOBE
• 95 HAKEEM

If you notice any discrepancies between your schedules and brackets, please do not hesitate to reach out so I can verify the game details on my end. If you do not see a game on your schedule or dashboards, please reach out to me immediately.

For teams with a BYE next week, games for the week of 12/8 will be uploaded later this week.

Please continue to monitor your playoff brackets closely, as your team may be scheduled to play next week. Brackets will be updated daily as we progress further into the playoffs.

As mentioned separately in the general playoff email, scheduling during the playoffs can be unpredictable, and priority scheduling does not apply. A reschedule may only be considered if the opposing team agrees and if schedule availability permits. Typically, the deeper we get into the playoffs, the more flexible scheduling becomes and the higher the likelihood that a reschedule request can be accommodated.

Thank you for your understanding.

I wanted to share a few important updates as we head into the Fall season. I will be finalizing and closing team registrations by the end of today and we’re excited to welcome what is shaping up to be a record-breaking season with 180 teams participating this fall.

Because each team has unique scheduling preferences and constraints, it will take me a little extra time to finalize the complete schedule. I truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this process.

Additionally, please note that there have been several scheduling and divisional balance adjustments across the league. As a result, your team may be placed in a new division and could see minor schedule changes in the coming weeks. This is a normal part of the early season, and we anticipate there may be one more round of division adjustments before the season concludes.

Lastly, I’ll be sending out a General FAQ email to all participants by the end of day tomorrow to help answer common questions as the season gets underway.

Thank you for being a part of the NYC Basketball League. We’re excited for another great season ahead!

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well.

I have returned from a brief hiatus during which I made some adjustments to various divisions. It has come to my attention that a few teams required essential tweaks and re-balancing to align with the new divisions.

With that said, I now have a clearer understanding of our September schedule across all gyms, and I have implemented some minor changes to the upcoming schedule as well. To view your schedules, please remember to visit nycbbl.com/team or nycbbl.com/matchup

Should you have any inquiries regarding this, please feel free to contact me via email at dicky@nycsportsleagues.com.

I aim to finalize the rest of the regular season schedule by the end of the day tomorrow (Friday 8/22). Any cancellations or postponed games will also be updated in the portal by early next week, if not already.

Playoff schedule will be released by next week, followed by a league-wide FAQ email concerning the playoffs, formats, and rules. The playoffs are anticipated to commence during the week of September 15th.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Dicky

Greetings everyone,

As Week 2 continues, I will be reassessing a lot of the results from some of these games, in particular teams that joined the league for the first time.

At the start of every season, it's not uncommon for teams to have a couple of lopsided box scores given the nature of not knowing where they truly belong in terms of skill levels.

That being said, adjustments and divisional changes will be made across the league and should reflect a more fun, fair, and competitive balance across all divisions from Advanced through Beginner Casual.

If there are any questions or concerns, please contact dicky@nycsportsleagues.com

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone is doing well.

This is a general PSA to all teams playing at all of our gyms. Because of the snow, slushy conditions outside, please be mindful that you are not directly walking onto our gym floors with your outside shoes.

There have been noticeable complaints about the floors being more slippery than usual because the salt, dirt, and other residue from outside have been transferred over to the gym floors.

To avoid this, we strongly advise you not to wear your outside shoes onto the actual court. Please change into your gear either in the locker rooms, restrooms, baselines, or by any private vestibule away from the public.

All maintenance teams at various gyms have been informed of the slippery conditions and they will act accordingly to clean the courts.

Thank you for your understanding!

Best regards,
