NBA Releases Washington Wizards Full 2026-27 Regular Season Schedule

After the schedule for both preseason and NBA Cup group stage were released earlier this week, the Washington Wizards and the NBA have officially unveiled the full 2026-27 regular season schedule on Thursday afternoon.

The Wizards will kick off the regular season at Capital One Arena when they host the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, Oct. 21, marking the second consecutive season the two teams have met in the first game. While it marks the first of two home games to open the season, the road opener will also mark a pair of top four picks from the 2026 NBA Draft as AJ Dybantsa and Caleb Wilson square off for the first time.

Trae Young's return to Atlanta will also materialize in the first road game during group stage in the NBA Cup, but it will also mark the first of two matchups during the week with the Wizards set to host the Hawks on Nov. 4.

Washington also has six primetime games this season beginning with Nov. 9 at Detroit, one more game than the previous five seasons combined.

After a three year stretch that ended with a 50-196 overall record under head coach Brian Keefe, the Wizards will look to return to the postseason for the first time since 2020-21 while looking to eclipse .500 overall for the first time since 2017-18.
