Golden State Warriors Face a Demanding 2026-27 Schedule
The Golden State Warriors have been released their 2026-27 schedule, featuring 28 national television appearances, 15 back-to-back sets, and 46,000 miles of travel. The team will face a demanding 82-game regular season, with key rotation wings Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody expected to miss the opening portion due to knee surgeries.
Last result: LA Clippers 115-110 Golden State Warriors (2026-04-13).
The Warriors begin their 2026-27 campaign on the road on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, against the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Tip-off is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. ET and will air nationally on ESPN. This will be the second straight season and the fourth time in the past six seasons that the Warriors open their campaign against the Lakers.
However, the matchup brings a brand new look. With LeBron James now playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, this rivalry opens a fresh chapter featuring Stephen Curry facing off against Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves.
Golden State enters the opener dealing with early injury tests. Key rotation wings Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody are working their way back from knee surgeries and are expected to miss the opening portion of the schedule, putting immediate pressure on Curry and the supporting cast out of the gate.
