Big 3 returning for 2023 season, tips off June 25

The Big 3 league is returning for its sixth campaign in 2023, it announced Wednesday.

The 10-week regular season will begin June 25 in Chicago, followed by the playoffs and a championship game scheduled for Aug. 26, according to TNT's Chris Haynes.

The league will return to full arena touring this season, with stops in Chicago, Charlotte, Dallas, Detroit, Memphis, Miami, New York, and Washington, D.C., Haynes adds. The 2022 campaign was played entirely in Chicago and Dallas.

The teams have yet to be announced.

The defending champion Trilogy - featuring former NBA players Rashad McCants, James White, and Dion Glover - have won three of the five championships since the Big 3 was founded in 2017.
