The two franchises are targeting a start in the 2028 - 2029 season.
The first vote would reportedly allow the league to explore purchase processes for Las Vegas and Seattle.
There will then be a potential final vote later in the year to finalize transactions to 32 teams.
In both voting rounds, 23 of 30 governors must vote in favor.
This is a developing story.
