The 2025 BIG3 season features the league's biggest expansion yet. It's introducing eight new teams that will each compete for a $1 million bonus awarded to both squads that make the championship game.




"This is the most anticipated BIG3 season yet," Cube said in a press release caught by CBS Sports. "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."




He continued: "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."
