The Brooklyn Nets have now made it through the 2026 NBA Draft, Las Vegas Summer League, and most of free-agency as the offseason begins to slow down in terms of news and moves. Brooklyn has done what it could to improve a roster that finished last season with a 20-62 record, and now, they know when this team will be at action prior to the beginning of the 2026-27 campaign.
The Nets announced on Monday their full, four-game preseason schedule in preparation for the 2026-27 season as they look to have a better season than they during the 2025-26 season. Brooklyn will begin its preseason slate at the Charlotte Hornets on Oct. 6, play the Philadelphia 76ers at their home arena of Barclays Center on Oct. 8, visit the Washington Wizards on Oct. 12, and they will end their preseason with a road game against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Miami Heat.
Nets fans found some aspects of the team to be excited following the draft as Brooklyn traded for Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle and added guard Mikel Brown Jr. with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2026 draft. More to the point, second-year guard Egor Demin showed some promise in Las Vegas after spending the majority of the offseason strengthening his body.
With that being said, here is the preseason schedule for the Nets heading into the 2026-27 NBA season:
