Future NBA Draft locations for 2024, 2025 and beyond

The 2024 NBA Draft, scheduled for June 26-27 in the first-ever two-day event for the league, will once again be held at Barclays Center once again. It's going to be a fascinating draft with a ton of talent coming from many different facets, even if there isn't a clear-cut top prospect like we've seen in many recent draft classes.

A year prior, the 2023 NBA Draft was long framed as the coronation of Victor Wembanyama. The 7-foot-3 Frenchman is viewed as a transformational pick, an utterly unique blend of size, skill and mobility. He proved to be worthy of being considered the ultimate prize, ultimately benefitting the San Antonio Spurs.

For the fourth year in a row, the NBA Draft will also be held at Barclay’s Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets. Barclays has hosted the NBA Draft since 2013, with 2020 as the lone exception when it was held from ESPN studios in Bristol, CT because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Where will the draft be heading moving forward? Let's take a look.

Where will the 2025 NBA Draft and 2026 NBA Draft be held? Future locations and what to know

The location of the 2025 NBA Draft hasn’t yet been announced, but it seems likely that it will be held at Barclays Center, if for no other reason than continuity. That is also likely the case for the 2026 NBA Draft and for the foreseeable future -- basically until we hear otherwise.

Before the NBA Draft was moved to Barclays it was held at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ — the previous home of the Nets — for two years. For the decade before that, it was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The 2024 and 2025 NBA Draft may not have a Victor Wembanyama but each offers plenty of talent. The 2024 NBA Draft will include Bronny James, son of LeBron, among many other enticing talents. The 2025 NBA Draft could include Dylan Harper, son of NBA great Ron Harper and brother of Ron Harper Jr., who played for Toronto’s G League affiliate last season.
