The wait is over, the NBA has dropped the 2025-26 schedule, and its loaded with must-watch showdowns from opening night through the holidays.

Things tip off October 21 when the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder raise their first-ever banner before facing a reloaded Houston Rockets squad. That Rockets roster now includes Kevin Durant, setting up an opening-night storyline the league couldnt have scripted better.

The nightcap is pure star power, LeBron James and Luka Donis Lakers hosting Stephen Currys Warriors.

I dont know how many more of these were going to get, and neither do you, Yahoo Sports Dan Devine wrote, so its incumbent on us to make sure were extracting as much enjoyment as possible from the ones that we do.

NBA Christmas Day brings two marquee battles: Cavaliers vs. Knicks in a potential Eastern Conference Finals preview, and Thunder vs. Spurs, meaning Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama finally square off under the brightest lights.

October 22 delivers the first pro meeting between No. 1 pick Cooper Flaggs Mavericks and Wembanyamas Spurs. Add Anthony Davis, DeAaron Fox, and Dylan Harper to the mix, and its a Texas-sized debut for the leagues newest star.

And if you like revenge games, circle November 24 because it will be a big one Durants return to Phoenix when the Rockets face the Suns.
