Chicago Bulls release 2026-27 NBA season schedule

The Chicago Bulls have released their schedule for the 2026-27 NBA season, marking a period of transition and rebuilding under executive vice president Bryson Graham. The roster features a youth movement led by rookie Caleb Wilson, third-year forward Matas Buzelis, and players such as Josh Giddey and Nic Claxton.

The schedule presents significant challenges, including 15 back-to-back games and 24 instances of playing three games in four nights. The team will also face a difficult opening month, playing 10 consecutive games against previous season playoff teams between late October and mid-November.

National television exposure remains limited, with only three scheduled games: December 1 against the New York Knicks on NBC, January 4 at the Indiana Pacers on Peacock, and January 20 at the Brooklyn Nets on ESPN. The season begins on the road against the Toronto Raptors, followed by the home opener against the Washington Wizards.
