A legacy of basketball management

For over a decade, the Pro Basketball Manager series has delivered the most complete and authentic basketball management simulation on PC. From Pro Basketball Manager 2021, which introduced revamped scouting and international competitions, through PBM 2022, PBM 2024, and PBM 2025, each edition expanded realism, improved AI, and added depth to tactics, finances, and youth development.

Now, with Pro Basketball Manager 2026, the series reaches a new milestone: the Basketball Champions League is fully licensed and playable for the first time, alongside an expanded roster of domestic leagues and teams from around the world. This edition marks the biggest licensing leap in PBM history, offering players new international competitions and authentic global challenges.

Authenticity is at the core of PBM 2026. For the first time, the Basketball Champions League joins the series, giving you the chance to manage on one of Europe’s premier basketball stages:

• Fully licensed Basketball Champions League clubs and players — new to PBM 2026.

New for 2026

PBM 2026 is more than an update — it’s a rebuild in key areas:

• Overhauled 3D match engine with new animations, improved AI, and deeper tactical choices.

• Richer team chemistry & morale systems: influential leaders, locker-room dynamics, and evolving on-court synergy.

• Expanded pre-season planning: schedule friendlies to generate revenue, test strategies, or build morale.

• Deeper negotiations & interactions: transfers, contract exits, and dismissals now require explanation — and carry consequences.

• Youth development & draft integration: nurture tomorrow’s stars, and earn when they make the leap.

• Upgraded UI performance: faster tables, cleaner displays, smoother navigation.

Data, detail & decisions

PBM 2026 arms you with powerful new tools to master every angle of management:

• Advanced stats: shooting charts, player evolution graphs, and zone analysis.

• Facilities management: invest in training centers, medical departments, and youth academies to build a long-term dynasty.

• Dynamic finances: balance sponsorship contracts, matchday income, and player wages.

• Consistent simulation: whether you watch every game in 3D or simulate instantly, the same underlying match engine ensures fair results.

Create, share, customize

Like every edition, PBM 2026 comes with a powerful DataEditor and full Steam Workshop integration. Create custom teams, tweak player attributes, or build entirely fictional leagues — and share them with the global community.

Build your dynasty, make history

From the sidelines to the spotlight, every choice is yours. Do you reward loyalty and chemistry, or chase the superstar transfer that could destabilize your locker room? Will you invest in long-term youth development, or push for instant silverware?

Pro Basketball Manager 2026 is more than a game. It’s the definitive test of strategy, leadership, and basketball knowledge.
