Los Angeles Lakers schedule 2026
80 Los Angeles Lakers games are listed between Fri, Oct 16 and Sun, Apr 11 — 41 at Crypto.com Arena and 39 on the road. January is the busiest month on the current schedule with 16 games, out of 7 months with dates. Most listed games start at 7:00 PM local time (49 of the 80 with a published start time). Sunday is the most common game day (16 of 80). The next home game is NBA Preseason: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets on Fri, Oct 16 (7:30 PM local start). The lowest listed get-in price is $21 for NBA Preseason: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets on Fri, Oct 16 (7:30 PM local start), while New York Knicks vs. Los Angeles Lakers on Sat, Jan 30 is the most expensive game to get into at $404. Across the 80 priced games, the median get-in price is $89, so anything under that is cheaper than a typical Los Angeles Lakers date right now.
The NBA regular season runs 82 games from late October through mid-April: 41 home games at Crypto.com Arena, 41 on the road. The Lakers play their Pacific Division rivals — Warriors, Clippers, Kings, Suns — four times each season for 16 divisional games, plus three or four games against each remaining Western Conference team and two games against each Eastern Conference team. Home stands typically run two to four games before the team heads on a four-to-seven-game road trip; the NBA's schedule formula avoids more than five road games in a row when possible. The In-Season Tournament (rebranded the NBA Cup) plays through November with one game per week in dedicated jerseys; the bracket round runs through early December and culminates with the NBA Cup championship game on a Tuesday in Las Vegas. The All-Star break is the third weekend of February, with the All-Star Game on Sunday and team practice resuming the following Tuesday. The postseason starts in mid-April with the Play-In Tournament for seeds 7–10, followed by the First Round, Conference Semifinals, Conference Finals, and the NBA Finals, which usually wraps in mid-June. Use the schedule strip above to filter by month, opponent, or home/away. Each row links through to the matchup page for that specific game with tickets, projected starters, broadcast info, and the opponent's recent form.
The next Lakers game appears at the top of the schedule on this page, with the opponent, date, tip-off time in Pacific Time, and home-or-road indicator pulled directly from the live NBA feed. The Lakers play roughly every other day from late October through mid-April, with built-in off days every 1–3 games and the All-Star break in mid-February. If the team is on a road trip, this page shows the visiting city and the start time in local time alongside Pacific Time. The NBA's annual Mexico City game and London game (when scheduled) shift the time zone but the broadcast partner stays the same. Once the regular season ends, if the Lakers qualify for the postseason, this page rolls straight into the Play-In Tournament (April), Western Conference First Round, Conference Semifinals, Western Conference Finals, and NBA Finals matchups as they're set.

About the Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are the NBA's most-watched franchise — 17 championships tied with the Boston Celtics for the most in league history, a Hollywood-built brand that has put a Laker on the cover of every basketball era from George Mikan's 1950s Minneapolis run through the Magic-Kareem Showtime years, the Shaq-Kobe three-peat, the Kobe-Pau Gasol back-to-back, and the LeBron-Anthony Davis 2020 bubble title. The Lakers play their home games at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, the building that opened as Staples Center in October 1999 and remains one of the most-booked venues in North America — Lakers, Clippers, Kings (NHL), Sparks (WNBA), Grammy Awards every winter, plus a steady touring concert schedule. A Lakers night at Crypto.com fills 19,000 seats with the most celebrity-heavy floor seats in any US arena, the Showtime banner hangs above the eastern entrance, and the broadcast almost always tops national NBA ratings even in down years. For Los Angeles, the Lakers are the calendar's centrepiece from late October through the playoffs in June, and this page is the local landing spot for anyone trying to figure out whether the Lakers play tonight, what time tip-off is, who they're facing, and where to get tickets — kept up to date for the full NBA season throughout the year.

Los Angeles Lakers tickets are available primarily through TicketNetwork and the official team site, with secondary inventory on StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, and others linked from each game card on this page. Single-game tickets typically go on sale in late September once the full schedule is locked in, with full-season and partial-season packages available earlier through the team's account management group. Premium courtside packages include in-seat service, dedicated VIP entry through the West Plaza, and pre-game player tunnel access for select tiers. Resale floors drop sharply in the week before non-rival weekday games — refresh the secondary listings on the game card a few days out and you'll often catch a 20–40% drop on upper-bowl seats. Marquee opponents, Christmas Day, and any playoff game stay expensive right up to tip-off. Christmas Day tickets in particular run 2-3x the typical home-game price tier.
Matchday at Crypto.com Arena
Expect a full house of basketball energy when the Los Angeles Lakers host at Crypto.com Arena, the 18,997-seat arena. Crypto.com Arena opened in 1999 and is a lively place to watch the game. The rivalry with the Kings (6 recorded meetings) lifts the atmosphere a notch and pushes ticket demand higher. Doors usually open well before the first whistle, so arriving 45 minutes early leaves time for security and concessions. Most basketball games run about 2–3 hours.

vs Boston Celtics
Lakers vs Celtics is the most storied rivalry in American professional sports. The two franchises have combined for 35 NBA championships — 17 each, with the Celtics historically holding the edge until the Kobe-Pau back-to-back titles equalised the count in 2010 and the LeBron-AD 2020 title gave the Lakers a brief lead before Boston's 2024 championship tied it again. The two teams have met in 12 NBA Finals, with Boston winning nine. The 1980s chapter — Magic Johnson against Larry Bird, three Finals matchups in four years (1984, 1985, 1987) — is the rivalry's defining era; the 2008 and 2010 Finals matchups between Kobe Bryant's Lakers and the Paul Pierce-Ray Allen-Kevin Garnett Celtics re-ignited it for a new generation. The two teams play twice in the regular season — one game at Crypto.com Arena, one at TD Garden — and both broadcasts top the league's regular-season ratings every year, even in seasons when one team isn't in the title hunt. The current chapter is carried by LeBron James's pursuit of titles in his final seasons against the Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown Celtics core, with both teams expected to remain conference contenders into the second half of the 2020s.
vs Golden State Warriors
Lakers vs Warriors is the Pacific Division matchup that has carried the modern NBA's most-watched regular-season broadcasts. The two teams play four times a year as divisional opponents, and the rivalry has been carried in the 21st century by Kobe Bryant against the early Stephen Curry teams, then LeBron James against the Curry-Klay Thompson-Draymond Green dynasty Warriors that won three titles in four years (2015, 2017, 2018) before LeBron joined the Lakers in 2018. The two teams have met in three Western Conference playoff series since 2018, with the Lakers winning the 2023 second-round matchup that ended the Warriors' dynasty window. The Chase Center crowd for a Lakers game pulls the league's heaviest road travel contingent — LA fans regularly fill Chase Center's lower bowl visually with purple-and-gold sections. Crypto.com Arena for a Warriors game is the loudest the building gets all year not counting playoff games, with the celebrity row often packed denser than any other regular-season night. The matchup tends to land on TNT's Thursday-night double-header or NBC's Saturday Night Basketball slot multiple times per season.
vs LA Clippers
Lakers vs Clippers is the building rivalry. The two teams shared Crypto.com Arena from the Clippers' 1999 move to Staples Center until the Clippers' August 2024 move to the new Intuit Dome in Inglewood, which means the matchup carries the unique history of being a hallway rivalry with both teams technically considered home games depending on which jersey hung over the eastern entrance. The Clippers became a serious contender during the Chris Paul-Blake Griffin-DeAndre Jordan "Lob City" era from 2011–2017; the Kawhi Leonard-Paul George Clippers from 2019 onward have been the franchise's most-talented rosters but have repeatedly come up short of the conference finals. The Lakers still hold the championship banners; the Clippers still chase the franchise's first NBA Finals appearance. The matchup plays four times a year and lands on national broadcasts at least twice per season. The Battle of LA atmosphere — both teams' fan bases split the same lower bowl when the Clippers had Crypto.com as home, with purple-and-gold dominant for Lakers games — has evolved now that the Clippers own their Inglewood building.
vs Phoenix Suns
Lakers vs Suns is the Pacific Division matchup with the deepest 1980s and 1990s playoff history. The Showtime Lakers under Magic Johnson beat the Suns in multiple Western Conference Finals matchups; the Kobe-Shaq Lakers eliminated the Charles Barkley Suns through the 2000s; the Chris Paul-Devin Booker Suns swept LeBron James's Lakers in the 2021 first round in one of the most-watched series of the COVID-era playoffs. The two teams play four times a year as Pacific Division rivals. Footprint Center (formerly Talking Stick Resort Arena) for a Lakers game is one of the loudest road environments in the West, especially since the Booker-Kevin Durant Suns have remained title contenders. The matchup lands on national broadcasts on a regular cycle; ABC's Saturday Night Primetime and TNT's Thursday-night doubleheader both pick up Lakers-Suns at least once per season.
vs Denver Nuggets
Lakers vs Nuggets is the Western Conference matchup that has defined the 2020s playoff bracket. The Nikola Jokić-Jamal Murray Nuggets have eliminated the LeBron James-Anthony Davis Lakers from the playoffs in three consecutive postseasons (2020 Bubble Western Conference Finals, 2023 Western Conference Finals, 2024 first round), and the Nuggets' 2023 championship run that started with a Western Conference Finals sweep of the Lakers established Denver as the conference's defining team. Jokic against AD is one of the most-watched big-man matchups in modern NBA history; LeBron against Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and Michael Porter Jr. has carried the regular-season broadcasts to top-three ratings every meeting. The four regular-season games per season are the most strategically important Lakers nights outside the Celtics, Warriors, and Christmas Day. Ball Arena in Denver at altitude (5,280 feet) is one of the toughest visiting environments in the league.
vs Miami Heat
Lakers vs Heat is the cross-conference matchup that LeBron James has carried into both jerseys. LeBron played four seasons in Miami (2010–2014) and won two titles there with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh; he then signed with the Lakers in 2018 and won the 2020 title against the Heat in the NBA Bubble — the only Finals matchup in NBA history played at a neutral site at Disney World due to COVID-19. The two teams play twice a year, and both broadcasts top conference-crossing ratings. Kaseya Center (formerly American Airlines Arena) for a Lakers visit is one of the most-watched Heat home dates every season; Crypto.com Arena for a Heat game brings out the Miami travel contingent in numbers, especially when Erik Spoelstra and Jimmy Butler are leading the Heat in a playoff push. The matchup carries the legacy weight of the LeBron-Wade friendship and the 2020 Finals series; the broadcast partners almost always pick it up for a Thursday-night TNT double-header.
Where to sit at Crypto.com Arena
Crypto.com Arena is built as a true basketball bowl, with three primary tiers that each offer a distinct way to watch the Lakers. The lower bowl wraps tight to the hardwood, putting you close enough to read defensive switches, hear sneaker squeaks, and feel the bass of the arena sound system on every made bucket. Sections along the sidelines from row eight upward tend to give the cleanest read of the entire half-court set, while baseline seats reward fans who love watching plays develop toward the rim. The club level above the lower bowl is a comfort-focused middle ground, with wider concourses, premium concessions, and in-seat service that softens the longer evenings of a back-to-back homestand. Premier sideline clubs and courtside packages carry the highest qualitative price, but they bundle elevated hospitality, dedicated entries, and shorter waits that some fans value as much as the sightline itself. The upper deck is where budget-conscious fans should plan first, especially midcourt rows that keep the entire floor in frame without the angle distortion of corner sections. Behind the basket up top can still be a strong shout for shooters who want to track ball flight, though sideline upper rows generally read pick-and-roll action more clearly. For marquee opponents and weekend dates, demand pushes lower bowl pricing well above weekday midweek games against rebuilding teams. Families and first timers often land in the upper sideline tier for the best blend of view and value, while date-night fans tend to step up to club level for the easier concourse experience and shorter restroom lines during timeouts.
