NBA cap space in 2026-27, ranked
No team projects to have cap space for 2026-27. Every roster is over the cap, so the market runs on exceptions, trades, and Bird rights. On payroll alone (contracts and dead money, with cap holds removed), 1 team sits under the cap.
One or more teams include a projected signing that is not yet official, so those figures are an estimate.
Cap space = the 2026-27 salary cap minus each team's cap salary (contracts, dead money, and cap holds for their own free agents and unsigned picks). Negative means over the cap, which is normal; those teams build with exceptions and Bird rights. Tap any number for that team's full answer.
