PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The Phoenix Suns and the rest of the NBA released their full schedules for the upcoming season.
After an offseason full of organizational changes, the new-look Suns start the 2025-26 season at home on Oct. 22 against the Sacramento Kings.
On Wednesday, Phoenix announced its schedule for the league’s third annual in-season competition — the Emirates NBA Cup. This year, the Suns will take the court against the Utah Jazz, Minnesota Timberwolves, Sacramento Kings and the Oklahoma City Thunder in Western Conference Group A. NBA Cup games will be played between Oct. 31 and Nov. 28.
The Suns end the season with what will likely be a grueling 4-game stretch. They’ll play in Phoenix against the Kevin Durant-led Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks before traveling to Los Angeles to play the Lakers, then to Oklahoma City to end the season against the 2024-25 NBA champs.
