The New Orleans Pelicans' 2026-27 season

The New Orleans Pelicans play 80 regular-season games in the 2026-27 NBA season, 40 at home at Smoothie King Center and 40 away, opening on Oct 21 and finishing on Apr 11. 16 of those come on the day after the previous game. The longest homestand is 5 games, from Nov 11 to Nov 18; the longest road trip is 7, from Jan 30 to Feb 10.

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 New Orleans Pelicans' run compares with the rest of the league, the full grid puts all 30 teams side by side.

Frequently asked questions

When do the New Orleans Pelicans play next?

The New Orleans Pelicans' next game is at home against the Indiana Pacers on Oct 21. The list below shows every remaining game, with tip-off times in your own timezone.

How many games do the New Orleans Pelicans play in 2026-27?

80 regular-season games: 40 at home at Smoothie King Center and 40 away, from Oct 21 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 New Orleans Pelicans 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 New Orleans Pelicans' longest homestand?

5 home games in a row, from Nov 11 to Nov 18. The longest road trip is 7 games, from Jan 30 to Feb 10.

What time do the New Orleans Pelicans' 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.
