2025/26 NBA Roster Counts

NBA teams are permitted to carry up to 21 players during the offseason, exceeding the regular season limit of 15 players. This expanded roster allows teams to sign players to non-guaranteed contracts, providing opportunities for those players to earn a regular season spot or be evaluated before potential assignment to the G League affiliate.

In addition to the standard 15-man roster, NBA teams can also have up to three players on two-way contracts. These two-way players grant the team NBA rights to extra players, although they typically spend significant time in the G League. Crucially, while two-way players do not count against the 15-man regular season roster limit, they are included within the 21-man offseason roster limit.

The article states that roster counts for all NBA teams will be tracked throughout the 2025 offseason and the 2025/26 season, categorizing players into specific groups. A list of team roster counts for the 2025/26 season is being maintained and updated, with the latest update provided as July 16, 2025, at 10:35 am CT, listing several teams starting from the Atlanta Hawks through the Golden State Warriors.
