The NBA is headed to Disney World, and fans are pumped for it.

What’s going on:

  • The NBA Board of Governors approved a 22-team format for restarting the NBA season, which was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic back in March.
  • No date for games have been announced. The season would resume in late July and likely finish in mid-October under the plan.
  • The games would happen at the Walt Disney World campus in Orlando, Florida.
  • Disney World has long been expected to be the host of the NBA’s resumed season since it can provide a bubble-like atmosphere, limiting travel between teams.

Fans reacted to Disney World decision

  • Following the NBA Board of Governor’s approval, social media went wild with celebration about the league’s decision to move to Disney World.
