After a roaring debut in Mumbai last year, BUDX NBA House is coming back to India, and this time it's heading to New Delhi. The NBA and Budweiser India have announced that the interactive fan experience will take place on 9th and 10th May at Bharat Mandapam, Exhibition Hall No. 6, running alongside the 2026 NBA Playoffs.

Last year's Mumbai edition welcomed over six thousand fans across two days. The New Delhi edition is shaping up to be even bigger, with an expanded lineup of experiences that brings together basketball, music, fashion, and culture under one roof for fans aged 16 and above.

The headliners alone make this worth clearing the calendar for. Two-time NBA champion and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame member Isiah Thomas and four-time NBA All-Star DeMarcus Cousins will both be at the event for meet-and-greet sessions, giving Indian basketball fans a rare chance to get up close with genuine legends of the game.

Beyond the star appearances, the event packs in on-court basketball activities, live performances by international and Indian musical artists, BUDX Masterclasses featuring expert-led workshops and panel discussions for emerging artists and DJs, a 3-on-3 celebrity game, streetwear showcases, and photo opportunities with the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Sacramento Kings mascot Slamson, the Kings Dancers, and the Kings dunk team are also part of the programme, connecting the event to the franchise that played in the first-ever NBA games in India back in 2019.

Rajah Chaudhry, NBA India Country Head, shared his thoughts on bringing the event to the capital. "Hosting BUDX NBA House in New Delhi for the first time marks an exciting next step in our continued efforts to engage fans across India in new and creative ways. The response in Mumbai last year showcased the incredible passion for basketball in the country, and experiences like this are our way of celebrating that community in a meaningful way."

Vineet Sharma, Vice President of Marketing and Trade Marketing at AB InBev India, added: "After witnessing the phenomenal response to the first-ever BUDX NBA House in Mumbai, we're excited to bring an elevated and more immersive edition to fans in New Delhi. As India's No.1 premium beer brand, we have always been at the forefront of culture, shaping conversations across music, sport, and entertainment for young audiences. Sport belongs to its fans. Through platforms like BUDX NBA House, we're translating that belief into a scalable strategy, one that puts fans at the centre of the energy, creativity and culture surrounding the game."

BUDX NBA House will be produced, promoted, and ticketed by District by Zomato. Tickets are available at https://link.district.in/DSTRKT/BUDXNBAPRDel.
