The Clippers will open the 2025-26 season on the road against the Utah Jazz on Oct. 22, two days before their home opener against the Phoenix Suns at the Intuit Dome.
The Clippers, along with the other 29 teams, unveiled their full regular-season schedules on Thursday. After playing at the Golden State Warriors on Oct. 28, the Clippers play at home for six of their following seven games.
Their schedule features 21 nationally televised games and 15 back-to-backs.
Marquee home matchups for the Clippers this season include the Lakers on Dec. 20 and Jan. 22, the Warriors on Jan. 5 and in the regular-season finale on April 12, and the Denver Nuggets on Nov. 12 and Feb. 19. Their two road games against the Lakers are Nov. 25 and Feb. 20 at Crypto.com Arena.
The national TV games include playing the Oklahoma City Thunder on Nov. 4 on NBC/Peacock, the Portland Trail Blazers on Dec. 26 on Amazon Prime, the New York Knicks on March 9 on Peacock and the Sacramento Kings on March 14 on ESPN.
Four of their back-to-back sets will be at home, eight will be on the road and four are home/road splits. The Clippers also have two miniseries on the road, both back-to-backs: in February in Houston before the All-Star break, and a March visit to the New Orleans Pelicans that caps a stretch of five games in seven days.
The Clippers play 18 games in March, their heaviest load of their season. They will play 15 games each in November and January.
The Clippers’ longest stretch of road games is a seven-game November stretch that begins Nov. 14 in Dallas and includes stops in Boston, Philadelphia, Orlando, Charlotte and Cleveland before concluding with the Nov. 25 game against the Lakers.
The Clippers’ schedule shows just 80 of their 82 games with the other two games determined by their play in the NBA Cup. Those dates will either be part of the tournament’s knockout round or be scheduled against two opponents who also failed to advance.
In what could be an emotional homecoming, guard Norman Powell returns when the Miami Heat visit the Intuit Dome. Powell, a fan favorite during his three seasons in L.A., was traded to Miami in the offseason in a three-team deal that brought forward John Collins to the Clippers.
The Clippers also added center Brook Lopez and guard Bradley Beal and reunited with 12-time All-Star Chris Paul in the offseason to join a veteran lineup of Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Ivica Zubac.
Billing this season as “Locked In”, the Clippers will be looking to improve on last season’s 50-32 regular-season record and first-round playoff exit. The team was ousted by the Denver Nuggets in a hard-fought seven-game series, ending their 2024-25 campaign.
