The Mexico City Capitanes (Spanish: Capitanes de Ciudad de México) are a Mexican professional basketball team based in Mexico City. The Capitanes competed as a member club in the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional (LNBP) for the first three seasons and the franchise is currently a member of the NBA G League. The team plays their home games in the Mexico City Arena.
The Capitanes were established before the 2017–18 season, after the Mexican capital had been without a basketball team for a decade.[4]
In December 2019, the National Basketball Association's commissioner Adam Silver announced that the Capitanes would be joining the league's developmental league, the NBA G League, for at least five seasons beginning in the 2020–21 season.[5] However, following the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, no mention was made of the Capitanes participating in the league's 2021 bubble season,[6] with the team announcing it would instead join in the 2021–22 season.
