What is the NBA?

The National Basketball Association (NBA) is a professional basketball league in North America, widely regarded as one of the premier sports leagues in the world. Founded in 1946, the NBA consists of 30 teams, with 29 located in the United States and one in Canada. The league is divided into two conferences: the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference, each further split into three divisions.

The NBA is renowned for its high level of competition, with athletes from around the globe showcasing exceptional skill, athleticism, and teamwork. The league has produced legendary players such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Stephen Curry, who have become household names and global icons.

Each NBA season begins with a regular season, where teams compete to secure a spot in the playoffs. The culmination of the season is the NBA Finals, where the champions of the Eastern and Western Conferences face off to compete for the prestigious Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy.

The NBA's influence extends beyond just sports. It has become a cultural phenomenon, impacting fashion, music, and entertainment worldwide. The league is also committed to social justice initiatives, community outreach, and promoting diversity and inclusion.

For fans and bettors alike, the NBA offers an exhilarating mix of fast-paced games and dramatic moments. With Cloudbet, you can immerse yourself in the excitement of the NBA, placing bets on your favorite teams and players using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, all within a secure and innovative platform.

Bet on NBA 2025-2026 season with bitcoin

Player movements and incoming rookies promise to make the NBA 2025-2026 season even more exciting than previous years. Take a look at some of our season outrights:

Season 2025-2026 champion: The Oklahoma City Thunder, last season’s champions, are favorites to win it all again, having signed star scorer Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to a four-year supermax extension. Still, no team has successfully defended their title since 2019. The Denver Nuggets, who lost to the Thunder in the Western Conference finals, are second favorites.
Most valuable player: OKC’s SGA is the early favorite after guiding his club to the championship. The previous season winner Nikola Jokic is second favorite and vying for his fourth MVP title in six years.
Rookie of the year: The odds favor Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey to lift the Wilt Chamberlain Trophy at the end of the season. Flagg, a highly touted small forward, joined the Dallas Mavericks after being named national college player of year.

There are just some of the NBA 2025-2026 season outright markets that you can bet on with Cloudbet.
