Trail Blazers Release 2026-27 Regular Season Schedule

Key Points:

• The Portland Trail Blazers face a very challenging 2026-27 schedule, with 12 of their first 17 games on the road and multiple long road trips, including two six-game stretches before the end of the calendar year.
• Despite the tough schedule, the Blazers open their season at home against the Phoenix Suns on October 21, marking Damian Lillard's first official home game in over three years, expected to draw a loud crowd.
• The team will participate in the Emirates NBA Cup™️ in West Group C, facing San Antonio, the Lakers, Golden State, and Sacramento, with potential knockout games in December and a championship game in Indianapolis.
• Portland has 13 back-to-back games this season, slightly fewer than last year, including a rare home-road back-to-back in the preseason, which is unusual since teams typically control preseason scheduling.
• Nationally televised games increase to 11 this season, including appearances on NBC, Prime Video, and ESPN, featuring notable matchups such as Ja Morant's return to Memphis and LeBron James' Sixers visiting Portland in March.
