  • NH Nonghyup Card leads the PBA Team League with two consecutive wins.
  • Team captain Cho Jae-ho has been instrumental in the team's early success.
  • Other teams like Hanacard and Harim also maintain undefeated streaks.

NH Nonghyup Card has surged to the top of the PBA Team League standings, securing two consecutive victories to open the 2026-2027 season. The team's strong start is largely attributed to the leadership of its captain, Cho Jae-ho.

In their latest match on July 6th at the Gwangming Citizen Gymnasium, NH Nonghyup Card defeated Welcome Savings Bank 4-1. This win, combined with their opening day victory, places them at the top of the league with 6 points, ahead of Hanacard, who also has two wins but fewer bonus points.

Cho Jae-ho has been a key player for NH Nonghyup Card, which has missed the postseason for the past three seasons. He contributed significantly in their recent match, winning his men's doubles match with partner Oh Tae-jun and then dominating his men's singles match against Daniel Sanchez.

Other teams are also showing strong early form. Defending champions Hanacard secured their second win by defeating Esway 4-1, powered by Murathan NazฤฑmoฤŸlu's two victories. Harim also continued their winning streak, narrowly beating Crown Haitai 4-3 in a full-set match, accumulating 4 points.
