The NBA dropped its full 2025-26 schedule, and the Orlando Magic will tip things off in style. Orlando opens the new season at Kia Center on Wednesday, October 22 against the rival Miami Heat (7 p.m. tip).
Single-game tickets go on sale Friday, August 15 at 1 p.m., with seats available through OrlandoMagic.com, Ticketmaster, or the Kia Center box office. Season tickets, partial plans, and suite rentals are already open.
This year’s slate is packed with highlights. Orlando will play 14 nationally televised games, including matchups on NBC/Peacock, ESPN, Amazon Prime, and international broadcasts. The Magic will also take part in the Emirates NBA Cup, beginning October 31. Their group-stage schedule includes Boston (Nov. 7), Brooklyn (Nov. 14), at Philadelphia (Nov. 25, NBC), and at Detroit (Nov. 28). If Orlando advances, knockout rounds will be held in December with the semifinals and championship set for Las Vegas.
Another major storyline: the Magic are going global. Orlando will play two international games against Memphis in January — Berlin on Jan. 15 and London on Jan. 18 — marking one of the most ambitious travel schedules in franchise history.
The Magic face a balanced calendar: six games in October, 14 in November, and a tough stretch in March with 17 contests (10 at home). In total, Orlando plays 17 weekend home games and 14 back-to-backs. Fans should also circle Feb. 5-11 and Feb. 26-Mar. 5 — the team’s longest homestands of the season.
Orlando’s final home game is April 8 vs. Minnesota, with the regular-season finale set for April 12 at Boston.
With national exposure, Cup action, and overseas trips, the 2025-26 season will be one of the most exciting in Magic history.
