The Long Island Nets’ 2026-27 slate is here. In a press release Monday, Brooklyn’s G League affiliate unveiled its full 50-game season for 2026-27. Long Island starts its season on Friday, November. 6 against the Greensboro Swarm, and plays two more games on the road before its home opener on Friday, November 13 against the College Park Skyhawks.

In a recent NetsDaily poll, 56% of voters predicted the Brooklyn Nets would win 30-39 games in 2026-27. That wouldn’t cut it in 2025-26, but the range would’ve been more than enough to compete for a play-in spot in 2023-24 and 2024-25. Both seasons had two teams in the East qualify for the play-in within the 30-39 win range. Heading into the 2026-27 season, there’s only so much you can expect from the Nets after a rebuilding 2025-26 season.

We’re not going to kid anyone. It’s dry out there right now. We’re well past the exciting point of the offseason and still a handful weeks away from the start of training camp.

Between his work for us at NetsDaily and on his own show The Brooklyn Boys, he’s been putting out content like there’s no tomorrow.
