NBA Announces 2025-26 Season Schedule: Know Full List of Key Dates and Special Matchups

Piecemeal releases of the NBA schedule are being made.

The league this week has gradually unveiled a list of nationally televised games on important dates, thanks to a new media rights agreement that will see games aired on NBC (Peacock) and Amazon Prime.

However, the NBA is trying to generate excitement for the 2025–2026 season since the news cycle is slowing down, so more announcements are anticipated in the days ahead.

However, the 17 games that have been announced will be welcomed by basketball fans who have suddenly been ravenous since the Oklahoma City Thunder raised the Larry O’Brien trophy.
