The stage is set for the most highly anticipated Utah Jazz season in years.<\/p>\n

The NBA released its 2026-27 schedule Thursday, giving Jazz fans an idea of what to expect from Will Hardy\u2019s crew in the coming campaign.<\/p>\n

With the Jazz projected to be much improved this season, there will be no shortage of compelling matchups on the calendar. Here are five home games that jump out right away.<\/p>\n

Jazz vs. Los Angeles Lakers \u2014 Sunday, Oct. 25 at 3 p.m.\"\"Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (77) drives into Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (24) at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025. | Laura Seitz, Deseret News <\/p>\n

The season\u2019s third game offers some early drama with Walker Kessler making his first visit to Utah since landing with the Lakers. <\/p>\n

Victor Wembanyama is the most captivating basketball player on the planet right now. Witnessing him play in person is a must for any hoops fan. Luckily, there are two early opportunities to do so at the Delta Center.<\/p>\n

Jazz vs. Phoenix Suns (NBA Cup) \u2014 Friday, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. <\/p>\n

The Jazz haven\u2019t had much luck in the three previous NBA in-season tournaments \u2014 Utah is 1-7 in the past two Cups \u2014 but perhaps this year they can make an early statement with an impressive Cup showing before Christmas. This matchup with the Suns will be the first such opportunity at home.<\/p>\n

Jazz vs. Washington Wizards \u2014 Saturday, Feb. 27 at 3 p.m.\"\"Kansas guard Darryn Peterson (22) and BYU forward AJ Dybantsa (3) chase down a loose ball during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game, Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026, in Lawrence, Kan. | Colin E. Braley, Associated Press <\/p>\n

AJ Dybantsa was just drafted No. 1 overall<\/a> by the Wizards, and the Jazz selected Darryn Peterson<\/a> with the very next pick. The pair of rookie stars have had memorable matchups in high school, college and the summer league, and their first NBA regular-season meeting should be an electric event as well.<\/p>\n

Jazz vs. Philadelphia 76ers \u2014 Tuesday, March 23 at 7 p.m.\"\"Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) works on Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (23) as the Jazz and Lakers play at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, on Sunday, Dec. 1, 2024. | Scott G Winterton, Deseret News <\/p>\n

After trading for Jaylen Brown and signing LeBron James, no team will command more attention this year than the Sixers, who already boast All-NBA talent Tyrese Maxey, rising phenom VJ Edgecombe and a former MVP in Joel Embiid. If Philadelphia\u2019s health is still holding up in March, it will be a squad worth catching in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n

What does the rest of the schedule look like? <\/p>\n
