MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies are bringing Grizz Nation together this fall with more than 30 fan-friendly events leading up to the 2025–26 NBA season.

Grizzlies players and staff will appear at several festivals this fall, including the Germantown Festival (Sept. 6–7) and the Cooper-Young Festival (Sept. 13). The team will also help celebrate B.B. King’s 100th birthday on Beale Street on Sunday, Sept. 14.
One of the biggest highlights comes Saturday, Sept. 20, when the Grizzlies team up with the Memphis Redbirds for Grizzlies Day at AutoZone Park. Cedric Coward and Javon Small are scheduled to make special appearances, and the Redbirds will wear Grizzlies-themed jerseys on the field. The first 5,000 fans will receive a replica Grizzlies jersey. A combo ticket package is available that includes entry to both the Redbirds game and the Grizzlies’ Opening Night on Oct. 22.
