Phoenix Suns' 2026-27 Schedule Officially Revealed by NBA

The 2026-27 Phoenix Suns schedule is officially out in the open.

The 82-game slate was unveiled by the NBA at noon AZT, which sets the stage for franchise player Devin Booker's 12th season in Phoenix. The Suns are also seeking to reach to the playoffs for a second season in a row after winning 45 games in 2025-26, but will face marked challenges along the way - including in integrating first-year forward Miles Bridges.

Below are some highlights from the release.

Suns Get Several National Showcase Opportunities 

Phoenix is slated to play on national television on nine different occasions this season, although the first appearance doesn't happen until January 5.

January 5: @Denver (NBC)

January 8: @Dallas (ESPN)

February 8: Los Angeles Lakers (Peacock)

March 1: Washington (Peacock)

March 17: @LA Lakers (ESPN)

March 23: Oklahoma City (NBC)

March 29: @San Antonio (Peacock)

April 2: Denver (Prime)

April 6: @Golden State (NBC)

The national T.V. slate is heavily predicated around Phoenix playing established superstars, rising stars, and division rivals. While the Suns didn't receive any primetime slots (Christmas, MLK Day, etc.), they will have plenty of opportunities to showcase that they are an improved team to an elevated audience. 

Suns Start Season Home-Heavy

The Suns are set to hold a seven-game stretch at home in November, while also hosting nine of their first 12 games at Mortgage Matchup Center. 

This includes the home opener against the Warriors on October 24, welcoming former star Kevin Durant back to Phoenix on November 7, and facing the defending runner-ups in the San Antonio Spurs on November 12.

November is going to be a crucial litmus test for Jordan Ott and his roster. The Suns will be tested with teams that are constructed differently roster-wise, pose different play style challenges, and that are adjusting to offseason moves just as much as Phoenix is.

This is also a crucial time for Phoenix to unlock a home-court advantage that they have spent much of the decade rebuilding. A strong start will ensure that the crowd will remain engaged as the season progresses.

Phoenix Could Earn More National Games

The Suns receiving nine national T.V. games isn't the end of the world. There is absolutely an opportunity for the squad to receive "flex" games into national time slots given that they exceed expectations once again this season. 

Phoenix opens the season on October 21 against Ja Morant and the Portland Trail Blazers.
