NBA tickets for the 2025-2026 season are available to purchase on Ticketmaster. You can browse a wide selection of NBA tickets at Ticketmaster, the Official Ticketing Partner of the NBA. If tickets for a game are sold out, additional seats may become available closer to the game, so keep checking back.
In order to make sure you get into the arena and to your seats in time for an NBA game, you should plan to leave at least an hour before tip-off. This will give you plenty of time to park, get through security, find your seats and maybe even catch the pre-game warm-ups. Before you go to a basketball game, it’s also a good idea to visit the arena’s website and familiarize yourself with the bag policy to avoid delays in getting in or having to leave items behind. You can also easily access your tickets when you arrive with the Ticketmaster App — or add the tickets to your mobile wallet to avoid any connectivity issues on game day.

After the NBA Preseason kicks off in early October, the NBA regular season will tip off in late October 2025. In November the NBA Emirates Cup will tip-off, culminating with the semi-finals and championship in Las Vegas in December. There will be a break for All-Star Weekend, leading up to the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. Once the season resumes, it will be a race to the finish — culminating in the So-Fi NBA Play-In Tournament and NBA Playoffs, which are scheduled to begin in April 2026. Be sure to add your team to your favorites on Ticketmaster.com or in the Ticketmaster app to be the first to know when tickets are available.

The NBA Playoffs will be preceded by the So-Fi NBA Play-In Tournament, where the 7th through 10th ranked teams in both conferences compete for their spot in the playoffs. The NBA Playoffs will then take place starting in April 2026 and running until the NBA Finals begin in June 2026. They’ll feature the top eight teams from each conference competing in a best-of-seven series as they look to advance to the following rounds.

The NBA Playoffs reach their apex each year with the NBA Finals — a winner-takes-all, best-of-seven series between the top teams from the Western and Eastern Conferences. In the 2025 NBA Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Indiana Pacers in a hard-fought seven-game series to capture the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy.
