The Cleveland Cavaliers' 2026-27 season

The Cleveland Cavaliers play 80 regular-season games in the 2026-27 NBA season, 40 at home at Rocket Arena and 40 away, opening on Oct 22 and finishing on Apr 11. 16 of those come on the day after the previous game. The longest homestand is 4 games, from Nov 14 to Nov 20; the longest road trip is 6, from Mar 9 to Mar 18.

Tip-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. That matters more here than it sounds: a North America evening game is the middle of the night in half the places people follow this league from, and the conversion is what every other schedule site leaves to the reader. To see how the Cleveland Cavaliers' run compares with the rest of the league, the full grid puts all 30 teams side by side.

Frequently asked questions

When do the Cleveland Cavaliers play next?

The Cleveland Cavaliers' next game is away at the Philadelphia 76ers on Oct 22. The list below shows every remaining game, with tip-off times in your own timezone.

How many games do the Cleveland Cavaliers play in 2026-27?

80 regular-season games: 40 at home at Rocket Arena and 40 away, from Oct 22 to Apr 11. Two more are still to be scheduled — the NBA Cup's knockout rounds are not set until the group stage finishes in December, which is why 80 are listed for an 82-game season.

How many back-to-backs do the Cleveland Cavaliers have in 2026-27?

16 — that many games fall on the day after the previous one. A team on the second night of a back-to-back is playing tired, so it is the part of a schedule worth looking at before anything else. The grid puts every team's run side by side.

What is the Cleveland Cavaliers' longest homestand?

4 home games in a row, from Nov 14 to Nov 20. The longest road trip is 6 games, from Mar 9 to Mar 18.

What time do the Cleveland Cavaliers' games start in my timezone?

Every tip-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. The NBA publishes its schedule in US Eastern time, so a game listed there for the evening can fall in the small hours — or on the following day — where you are, and those carry a +1 mark.
