The Clippers open the 2025-26 season with an exhibition game against the Guangzhou Loong Lions on Oct. 9 at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, home of the G League San Diego Clippers, followed by three preseason games.
Their opening preseason opponent, known as the Long-Lions, plays in the Chinese Basketball Association, in which it finished 12-34 last season to tie for 15th place in the 20-team league.
In their second exhibition game, the Clippers head to Intuit Dome to face the Denver Nuggets on Oct. 12, the team that eliminated the Clippers in a seven-game first-round playoff series last season.
The Clippers then hit the road to play the Sacramento Kings on Oct. 15 at the Golden 1 Center and close out the preseason against the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center.
The Clippers’ full schedule, along with those of the other 29 teams, will be released Thursday.
