The league used the same type of isolation season as the 2020 NBA Bubble with all games at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Bay Lake, Florida.
[6] During the constantly changing restrictions amid the pandemic, no announcements for the 2020–21 season were made by the league or the NBA.
It was rumored that all games for the G League season would take place in a bubble similar to the 2020 NBA Bubble in either Atlanta, Georgia, or outside Orlando, Florida, with several teams likely to opt out,[7] but that the NBA G League Ignite prospects team would be joining.
Eleven teams opted out of the season: the Capital City Go-Go, College Park Skyhawks, Grand Rapids Drive, Maine Red Claws, Northern Arizona Suns, Sioux Falls SkyForce, South Bay Lakers, Stockton Kings, Texas Legends, Windy City Bulls, and Wisconsin Herd.
[11] The schedule was announced on January 27 with the 18 teams each playing 15 regular season games between February 9 and March 6.
