# Become the head coach and architect of a basketball dynasty!

Manage tactics, finances, recruitment and the locker room — every decision shapes your legacy. Suit up and take charge of one of 2,000+ professional teams across 90 domestic leagues (including 17 women's leagues). From daily training and match tactics to long-term budgets and facilities, every choice is yours — on and off the court. # A COMPLETE CLUB & NATIONAL TEAM MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE - Manage clubs and national teams. Full-season control: lineups, tactics, staff and long-term club vision. - Deep scouting and recruitment systems to build your squad from youth prospects to superstars. # LICENSES We’re proud to announce that the **Basketball Champions League** will be fully playable at launch, with all clubs and players officially licensed. The game also features 20+ national licensed leagues from France, Turkey, Lithuania, Belgium/Netherlands, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Austria, Sweden, Slovakia, Cyprus, New Zealand, Norway, Italy and the women's adriatic league! # FULL REBUILD IN 3D — MORE LIFE, MORE CHARACTER - All textures and 3D character models have been rebuilt for superior immersion. New hairstyles, beards and accessories (headbands, sleeves, shoes) create unique looks for every player. - Reworked animations and lighting for more fluid, immersive matches. - Improved in-game AI with multiple difficulty levels. # NEW, FASTER UI — ENGINEERED FOR MANAGERS - A redesigned interface and rewritten UI components for smooth navigation. - Big tables and lists now load up to 20x faster — find the info you need in an instant. # REVAMPED CHEMISTRY & MORALE - Team chemistry is deeper: leaders, influential players and shared history now matter more. - Players who play together more often develop stronger on-court synergy — but keeping leaders happy may cost you. ***Are you willing to overpay your current leader to keep them, or bring in a new superstar and risk breaking the chemistry?*** # RICHER INTERACTIONS & NEGOTIATED OUTCOMES Important actions such as transfer exits and dismissals now require negotiation. Explain your decision, handle player reactions — and face the consequences. You may end up with a demotivated player if negotiations fail! # PRE-SEASON & FRIENDLY PLANNING Plan friendlies with intent: draw big crowds against established teams or test tactics quietly on the road. Each choice affects income and player morale. Are you willing to risk a heavy defeat (and, by extension, your players' morale) for higher income? These early preseason choices will determine how well your team starts the season! # CREATE TOMORROW’S STARS — AND EARN FOR IT Invest in youth recruitment and the draft. Produce the next generation of talent and receive a payout when they are drafted! # POWERFUL DATAEDITOR & STEAM WORKSHOP SUPPORT Pro Basketball Manager 2026 ships with a free DataEditor and full Workshop integration so the community can create and share teams, player faces, rosters and more. # PLAYABLE LEAGUES **America:** 2 continental competitions **Argentina** (1 men's league), **Brazil** (1 men's league), **Canada** (1 men's league), **Chile** (1 men's league), **Colombia** (1 men's league), **Dominican Republic** (1 men's league), **Mexico** (1 men's league), **Panama** (1 men's league), **Puerto Rico** (1 men's league), **Uruguay** (1 men's league), **USA** (1 men's league), **Venezuela** (1 men's league). **Asia:** 1 continental competition **China** (1 men's league), **Chinese Taipei** (1 men's league), **Japan** (2 men's leagues, 1 national cup), **Philippines** (1 men's league), **South Korea** (1 men's league). **Europe:** 7 continental competitions **Albania** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Austria** (1 men's league, 1 women's league, 1 national cup), **Belarus** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Belgium** (1 national cup), **Belgium,Netherlands** (1 men's league), **Bosnia** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Bulgaria** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Croatia** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Cyprus** (1 men's league, 1 women's league, 2 national cups), **Czech Republic** (1 men's league, 1 women's league, 1 national cup), **Denmark** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Estonia,Latvia** (1 men's league), **Finland** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **France** (4 men's leagues, 2 women's leagues, 3 national cups), **Georgia** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Germany** (3 men's leagues, 1 national cup), **Greece** (2 men's leagues, 1 national cup), **Hungary** (1 men's league, 1 women's league, 1 national cup), **Iceland** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Israel** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Italy** (3 men's leagues, 2 women's leagues, 6 national cups), **Kosovo** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Lithuania** (2 men's leagues, 1 national cup), **Latvia,Lithuania** (1 women's league), **Luxembourg** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **North Macedonia** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Montenegro** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Netherlands** (1 national cup), **Norway** (1 men's league, 1 women's league), **Poland** (2 men's leagues, 1 women's league, 1 national cup), **Portugal** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Romania** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Russia** (2 men's leagues, 1 women's league, 1 national cup), **Serbia** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Slovakia** (1 men's league, 1 women's league, 1 national cup), **Slovenia** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Spain** (3 men's leagues, 1 women's league, 2 national cups), **Sweden** (1 men's league, 1 women's league, 1 national cup), **Switzerland** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Turkey** (2 men's leagues, 1 women's league, 2 national cups), **Ukraine** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **United Kingdom** (1 men's league, 1 national cup), **Austria,Croatia,Bulgaria,Slovenia,Bosnia,Serbia,Montenegro** (1 women's league). **Oceania:** **Australia** (1 men's league), **New Zealand** (1 men's league)
