The Nets return to Montreal for four games in 2026
On the heels of a successful partnership in 2024-25, the Long Island Nets, NBA G League affiliate of the Brooklyn Nets, will again partner with Group CH to host four home games at Place Bell in Laval during the upcoming 2025-2026 season.
The first pair of games will occur on Thursday, Jan. 8 and Friday, Jan. 9 against the Wisconsin Herd, NBA G League affiliate of the Milwaukee Bucks. Long Island will again play its games at Place Bell as “Les Nets” with special uniforms and branding to honor the local market.

Last season the Long Island Nets played six games in Laval, welcoming nearly 40,000 fans across the series. The team set a new attendance record with 7,750 fans at its first game in the market and the average attendance per contest was among the best at any G League venue on the year, demonstrating the strong enthusiasm for professional basketball in the region. Additionally, the team introduced limited-edition “Les Nets” merchandise, which sold out the first game.
“We are thrilled to return to Laval this season and continue the momentum from last year,” said Morgan Taylor, Head of Business Operations for the Long Island Nets. “The passion and support we’ve seen from Canadian basketball fans has been incredible and it’s clear there’s a strong appetite for professional basketball in Quebec. Our partnership not only expands the G League’s presence in a new market, but also creates meaningful opportunities for players, coaches, and fans to connect through the game as basketball’s global appeal continues to grow.”
“We’re pleased to welcome ‘Les Nets’ to Laval for a second consecutive year and build on what was a great series of games last season,” said France Margaret Bélanger, President, Groupe CH Sports and Entertainment. “Our enthusiastic crowds, coupled with the talent and competition showcased at the NBA G League games we’ve hosted to date, have made for a memorable, festive atmosphere for everyone involved. We look forward to providing more opportunities for fans and families to come experience this high level of basketball in the months ahead.”
In addition to the January games against the Herd, “Les Nets” will also host the Noblesville Boom, the new G League affiliate of the Indiana Pacers, on Sunday, Feb. 8 2026 and Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2026. The Feb. 8 game will tip off at 1 p.m.; all other games will start at 7 p.m.

In addition to the four home games played at Place Bell, the Long Island Nets will host various activations in the Laval community in early 2026 (more information will be announced at a later date).
