Beginning with the 2026-27 NBA season, Alibaba's technology will power a Real-Time 360° Replay system at Barclays Center, bringing faster and more innovative replays. Through the in-arena "Nets Figure Lab," fans will also be able to create personalized collectible cards using Alibaba's technology.

Across the season, Alibaba and the Nets will use the partnership to test and scale innovative technology and marketing applications on and beyond game day, enhancing fan experiences while supporting the next chapter of Nets basketball. For the Nets, the collaboration represents an investment in the future of the franchise, using technology and creative collaboration to honor six decades of history while building what comes next.
