A column per day, and tip-off times converted out of US Eastern — the conversion every NBA schedule leaves to the reader.
Basketball schedules, read a month at a time
An NBA team may play as many as three to four games in a week, and an
82-game season is far too long to hold in your head as a list. The grid
puts every team down the left and every date across the top, and names
that night's opponent in the cell. A column answers "who plays
tonight", a row answers "what does December look like for them", and
the whole grid shows the thing that decides a season's shape: which
teams are heading into a congested stretch and which have games in
hand.
Two leagues are covered — NBA, EuroLeague —
50 teams in all, currently the 2026-27 season. Home and
away are marked by colour and by an @ before away opponents, and once a
game has been played its final score replaces the matchup. Back-to-backs
— a game the day after the previous one — show up as two filled cells in
adjacent columns, and each team page counts them for the season.
Tip-off times in your own clock
The NBA publishes in US Eastern time, which puts a typical tip-off
around midnight in the UK and 1am in central Europe, on a date that is
already tomorrow. Converting that is the thing every other schedule site
leaves to the reader. Here your timezone is detected and every tip-off
is converted into it, with a manual override in the “Times in” control
and a +1 mark on any game that falls on the following day where you are.
The EuroLeague spans five timezones of its own, from Madrid to Dubai, and
gets the same treatment.
Every team, its own page
Each of the 50 teams above has a full schedule page: every game
with its tip-off in your timezone, the home and away split, the longest
homestand and road trip, the back-to-back count, and the arena. The
league grid is one click away from each of them.
Frequently asked questions
Which basketball leagues can I see schedules for?
2 leagues: NBA, EuroLeague. Each has a whole-season grid with every team as a row and every date as a column, and each of its 50 teams has a schedule page of its own. The NBA also has a page per month, because a 1200-game season is a heavy page on a phone.
What time do NBA games start in the UK and Europe?
The NBA publishes in US Eastern time, which puts a typical tip-off around midnight in the UK and 1am in central Europe. This site detects your timezone and converts every tip-off into it, with a manual override if you want another. A game that lands on the following day where you are carries a +1 mark, so an evening game in North America is not mistaken for an evening game at home.
Why does an NBA team show 80 games rather than 82?
Because only 80 are published. The last two are the NBA Cup's knockout rounds, and who plays them is not settled until the group stage finishes in December, so the league leaves the dates open until then. They appear in the grid as soon as they are published — the advantage of a page rebuilt nightly over a season preview printed once.
What is a back-to-back, and where can I see them?
A game played the day after the previous one. A team on the second night of a back-to-back is measurably worse, which makes it the part of a schedule worth reading first. Every team page counts them for the season, and the grid shows where they fall — two filled cells in adjacent columns.
How current are these schedules?
They are refetched every night from each league's own published schedule, and the pages are rebuilt when something has actually changed. During a season the previous night's results are in the grid by morning.
