2026-27 NBA Media Days schedule: When every team meets the press

The calendar flipped. Training camp is next. And the first microphones of the 2026-27 NBA season are already live.

Houston goes first. Dallas follows a few days later. Both are getting an early jump because they’re headed to Macao for the NBA China Games on Oct. 9 and Oct. 11. Everybody else piles in on Monday, Sept. 28.
