Starting with a highly anticipated regular-season opener in Oklahoma City, here’s where you can watch each game of Houston’s 2025-26 NBA season.
The NBA’s complete 2025-26 season schedule has arrived — and with it, the ability to plan for at least seven months of Houston Rockets basketball.
For the Rockets, it begins with a four-game preseason slate in early October before transitioning to the 82-game, regular-season grind on Tuesday, Oct. 21. In a matchup of the top-two teams from last season’s Western Conference standings, that opener at Oklahoma City takes place on 2024-25 championship ring night for the Thunder.
For Kevin Durant, who leads the new-look Rockets, it will be a reunion night with the franchise where he played eight elite seasons earlier in his Hall of Fame career.
Starting with that NBA on NBC opener in Oklahoma City, Houston will have 28 nationally televised games. The list includes four on ABC; seven on Amazon Prime; six on ESPN; seven on NBC; and four on Peacock. Of that total, 15 will be exclusively national broadcasts.
The Rockets’ local broadcast partner, Space City Home Network (SCHN), will air Houston’s entire preseason schedule along with all regular-season games that are not exclusive to national TV. Each game will also be available on the team’s radio broadcast home, SportsTalk 790 KBME and NewsRadio 740 KTRH, as well as in Spanish on TUDN 93.3 FM.
Nationally, most games will be available to stream on NBA League Pass. For fans wanting to attend in person, tickets can be purchased at Rockets.com.
Of the 82 regular-season games, 80 are currently known. Two will be added between Dec. 9-16, pending Emirates NBA Cup 2024 results.
