“This is the most anticipated BIG3 season yet,” said BIG3 Co-CEO Ice Cube. “Not only are the players competing for the Dr. J trophy, but also for a $1M win bonus. Beyond that, the play is harder, the players are tougher, and the league is more competitive than ever. Our fans have the chance to be part of history every week when each team makes their hometown debut. Everyone knows that the BIG3 isn’t just what is done on the court – when we come to town, you know there is music, culture, and community to be had. We can’t wait for our fans to meet their teams and experience another summer of the best 3-on-3 basketball starting June 14.”
The 2025 Championship dates and location will be announced at a later date. The two winning teams coming out of the Week 9 playoffs will be awarded the $1 million win bonus. This is the first time a performance prize of this size will be offered to BIG3 players in addition to their regular-season salaries. Full rosters of each team will be announced after the BIG3 combine and draft on May 15, 2025. This season will also be chronicled in the forthcoming BIG3 documentary, which will follow the action of season 8 through to the Championship and delve into the challenges and controversies since the league’s founding.
