"Together, we've built a true partnership that has allowed us to break the mold and develop new and exciting ways to elevate our work. Each year, the BIG3 grows with astounding speed and brings us new opportunities to interact with our fans, and I can't wait for them to see what we have in store for this summer."

The league's seventh season begins on June 15, 2024, in Oakland, California, and will be broadcast on CBS, Paramount+, and X.

In February Big3 announced a deal to stream live matches and other new content on X, the social media heavyweight formerly known as Twitter.

The deal is paired with Big3’s deal extension last November with national network CBS Sports for the fifth consecutive season.

CBS will still be Big3’s primary broadcaster for the 2024 season, showing over 20 regular season games, the playoffs, the championship game, and the all-star and celebrity games.

The 2024 Big3 season is set to run from June 15 until August 18, following ratings and attendance increases in its sixth season.
