The 2025-26 NBA season is just around the corner, and it’s a no-brainer that the hype is as real as it can get. The regular season will be preceded by the NBA<\/a> preseason, allowing fans to see lesser-known players take the court. It will kick off on October 2, presenting the preview of what the NBA season has in store. The preseason will feature showdowns in Abu Dhabi, Macao, the Land Down Under, and beyond. Though the hype around the preseason is underwhelming, it sets the stage for an unforgettable tournament schedule ahead. <\/p>

2025 NBA Preseason Start Date and Key Contests <\/h2>

The NBA preseason will kick off on Thursday, October 2 with a game between the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers.<\/strong> The game will be played at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates at 12 pm ET. Two days later, these teams will play their second preseason game at the same venue on October 4 at 11 am ET. <\/p>

In other preseason games, the New Orleans Pelicans will lock horns against NBL teams at Melbourne Park in Australia on October 3 and 5. On October 6, action will move to Canada for the NBA Canada Series<\/a> where Denver Nuggets will be up against the Toronto Raptors at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, B.C. It will be followed by NBA China Games on October 10 and 12 where the Brooklyn Nets encounter the Phoenix Suns at The Venetian Arena in Macao. <\/p>
