Prices for the top and three lower tiers of the “NBA China Games 2026 Experience Packages” promoted by Sands China Ltd, will be higher than the packages for the 2025 preseason games, according to GGRAsia’s checks of publicity materials from the Macau casino operator. The benefits in the 2026 packages may not be directly comparable with those for 2025.
The 2026 packages offer tickets to preseason National Basketball Association (NBA) games staged by Sands China, in some cases close-up access to NBA players, and a hotel stay at its Londoner Macao property in Cotai.
The latest round of preseason ties staged in Macau will occur in October, with two matchups between Texas-based teams the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets.
The top-tier package cost this time is about 13 percent higher than in 2025. The next two tiers are about 33 percent higher in price, and the lowest-tier price is about 50 percent higher than in 2025.
The NBA China Games 2026 will be on October 9 and October 11 – a Friday and a Sunday – at the Venetian Arena of The Venetian Macao casino resort, just across the street from The Londoner Macao. In October last year, the Venetian Arena was host to the preseason matchups between the Brooklyn Nets and the Phoenix Suns (pictured).
Sands China made available recently the NBA China Games 2026 Experience Packages, according to GGRAsia’s checks.
The top-tier 2026 package – branded “Hall of Fame” – gives access to backstage areas and the chance to dine with the “NBA Legends”, plus on-court photo opportunities. The Hall of Fame package costs HKD271,999 (US$34,695), 13.3 percent more than the same top tier in 2025.
The next tier for 2026 is “MVP”. It offers on-court photographs with players and access to the games’ backstage areas. The price is HKD79,999, or 33.3 percent higher than the same-branded tier in 2025. The novelties for that tier this time, are the backstage access and the offer of a higher-tier suite at Londoner Paiza Grand.
The Hall of Fame and MVP packages cover hotel stay, games and NBA Fan Day tickets for two people.
The third and fourth tiers of Sands China’s NBA packages are the “All Star” and “Rookie”. They are priced respectively at HKD19,999 and HKD14,999, but on a per-person basis. Both tiers offer access to a pre-game “hospitality lounge”, and an “NBA China Games Gift Bag”, in addition to a hotel stay, and food and drink service at The Londoner Macao complex.
The All Star package cost is 33.3 percent higher than the same-branded tier last year. The Rookie package price is 50.0 percent up the same-branded tier last year.
Sands China is an official partner of NBA China, and serves as promoter of the games, according to previously-released information from the casino company.
In December 2024 it emerged that Sands China and the NBA had signed a five-year agreement to stage preseason games in Macau. Under the deal, NBA was to host two such games per year at the Venetian Arena.
