NBA: Games Today and Results
With 30 teams and 82 games each, the NBA is on almost every night from late October into April. Cards open the NBA game page, or an ESPN page if the league page cannot be matched.
NBA Schedule Basics: 82 Games, the NBA Cup and the Play-In
Thirty teams play 82 games each, 41 at home and 41 on the road, so the league fields roughly 1,230 regular-season games. The season runs from late October to mid-April.
In November and December an in-season tournament called the NBA Cup adds knockout drama. In April the Play-In Tournament settles the final two playoff places in each conference, and the playoffs run until the Finals in June.
How many games are in an NBA season?
Each team plays 82 regular-season games, about 1,230 across the league.
When do the NBA playoffs start?
After the regular season ends in mid-April, a short Play-In Tournament is held first and the first round follows.
Why does an NBA game show a different date than I expected?
West Coast games can end after midnight Eastern, and Sportsurge shows every game in Eastern Time.
