2026/27 NBA Two-Way Contract Tracker

Two-way contracts allow NBA teams to carry three extra players in addition to the 15 on their regular season roster. These players generally bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League, but remain under team control and can’t be poached by rival franchises.

First introduced in 2017, two-way deals have undergone some rule changes over the past decade, including in NBA’s latest Collective Bargaining Agreement. Here are some key points to remember:

• Teams can carry up to three players on two-way contracts.
• Two-way players are eligible to be active for up to 50 of their team’s 82 regular season games.
• If a team isn’t carrying a full 15-man standard roster, its two-way players can only be active for a combined 90 “under-15” games.
• Players on two-way contracts will earn $678,882 in 2026/27, half of the rookie minimum.
• Two-way contracts can’t be signed after March 4.
• Two-way players are ineligible to play in the postseason (including play-in games) unless they’re promoted to the standard 15-man roster, which can happen at any time up until the last day of the regular season.

You can check out our glossary entry to learn more about two-way contracts.

NBA teams have begun to fill in their two-way slots for the 2026/27 league year, so we’ll track all those deals in the space below. Some two-way players from 2025/26 inked two-year contracts and remain under contract for this season, while others have been newly signed.

If a two-way signing has been reported by a trusted source but isn’t yet official, we’ll list it in italics and link to the report, updating the info as necessary. While we expect those signings to be finalized, they’re not done yet, so there’s a chance they’ll fall through or were reported erroneously.

Players who are in the first year of two-way contracts that cover two years (the maximum length) will be noted with an asterisk (*) once that info is confirmed, which usually happens within a few days of the deal being signed.

This tracker will continue to be updated throughout the 2026/27 league year, and can be found anytime in the “Hoops Rumors Features” menu on the right-hand sidebar of our desktop site, or in the “Features” menu on our mobile site.
