The Los Angeles Clippers released their 2025–26 regular-season schedule Wednesday, revealing a challenging path that includes 21 nationally televised games, 15 back-to-backs, and a heavy dose of marquee matchups at the new Intuit Dome.

Season kicks off on the road. The Clippers open the regular season on Oct. 22 at Utah before returning home for games against Phoenix on Oct. 24 and Portland on Oct. 26. Those early contests will be a quick gauge of how the team’s retooled roster meshes under the bright lights.

National spotlight. Los Angeles will appear in 21 nationally televised games, split across NBC, Peacock, ESPN, ABC and Prime Video. Several of those matchups come against title contenders and key Western Conference rivals, ensuring the Clippers remain in the national conversation.

Demanding schedule. Fifteen sets of back-to-backs will test the team’s depth and durability. The Clippers also face several long road swings, including a five-game East Coast trip in December and a four-game stretch in March.

Battle of L.A. returns. The first regular-season meeting with the Lakers is set for Nov. 25 at the Intuit Dome and will be part of the NBA Cup showcase, airing nationally on NBC and Peacock. The two teams will meet four times in the regular season, with bragging rights and possible postseason implications on the line.

Strong finish at home. Four of the Clippers’ final six regular-season games are at the Intuit Dome, potentially providing an advantage if playoff positioning comes down to the final week.

All-Star Game spotlight. The 2026 NBA All-Star Game will take place at the Intuit Dome on Feb. 15, putting Inglewood in the center of the basketball world. The Clippers will host a series of events during the week, further showcasing their new arena.

Tournament ties. Several early-season games double as NBA Cup contests, counting toward both the tournament standings and the regular-season record. The Clippers will be looking to advance deep in the in-season competition after falling short last year.

Roster ready to go. With Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and Ivica Zubac leading the core and offseason additions such as Brook Lopez, Bradley Beal, Chris Paul and John Collins, the Clippers enter the season with one of the deepest rosters in the league. How quickly the new group finds chemistry could determine how they navigate one of the NBA’s most demanding schedules.

The Clippers are set to tip off a season filled with expectations, high-profile games, and the opportunity to make a deep playoff run in their first full year at the Intuit Dome.
