2026–27 Milwaukee Bucks season

The 2026–27 Milwaukee Bucks season will be the 59th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). This is the first season since the 2012–13 season that Giannis Antetokounmpo will not be on the opening day roster and the first season since the 2019–20 season that Bobby Portis will not be on the opening day roster, as they were both traded to the Miami Heat on July 6.

Offseason On April 13, 2026, Doc Rivers resigned from his position as head coach of the Bucks. On April 30, 2026, the Bucks hired Taylor Jenkins as their new head coach.

Draft picks

Round Pick Player Position Nationality College 1 10 Brayden Burries PG/SG United States Arizona The Bucks entered the draft holding one first-round selection. They have traded their second-round selection to the Orlando Magic in 2020 before it was eventually used by the Boston Celtics because this pick was more favorable than those of Orlando and the Detroit Pistons, both of whom finished the 2025–26 season with better records than Milwaukee.
