basketball season

Court sport's months

Basketball season is the period when basketball is actively played at a given level of competition.

In the NBA, it runs roughly from October through June; college basketball spans November to April.

The phrase often evokes the rhythm of the sports calendar: Basketball season starts next week—I'll be glued to the TV.
