NBA Launchpad 2027 cohort
The NBA picks emerging technology companies to run pilots with the league. Applications for the 2027 cohort close on October 16, 2026.
NBA Launchpad is the National Basketball Association programme that finds, tests and pilots emerging technology against the goals of the league and its teams. Applications for the 2027 cohort are open.
Selected companies work with the league on a pilot. The application page does not state a funding amount, so the money on offer is not published there.
The programme is open to companies anywhere. There are two portals: one for companies in Greater China and one for everybody else.
Applications for the 2027 Launchpad cohort are open from September 16 to October 16, 2026. The page does not give the start and end dates of the cohort itself.
