The Los Angeles Lakers announced today four games they will host as part of the 2025-26 preseason schedule, presented by Delta Air Lines. Fans will get a first look at the Lakers 2025-26 roster as the team hosts four opponents across three cities between Oct. 3-17.
The slate is highlighted with a matchup in Las Vegas, where the team will host the Dallas Mavericks Oct. 15 at T-Mobile Arena. The marquee contest builds on the tradition of bringing Lakers basketball to Las Vegas.
Preseason tips off for the Lakers Oct. 3 in Greater Palm Springs at Acrisure Arena when the team hosts the Phoenix Suns. The organization has a rich history in Coachella Valley, the former home of Lakers training camp in the Showtime era. In 2023, the Lakers returned to Coachella Valley after a 26-year hiatus, bringing the Purple and Gold back to the desert with a sold-out preseason showing.
Los Angeles will host a pair of preseason games on its home court at Crypto.com Arena, featuring contests versus Golden State Oct. 12 and Sacramento Oct. 17.
