The Los Angeles Clippers released their 2026-27 schedule on August 13, featuring an opening game against the Sacramento Kings on October 21. The franchise is entering a rebuilding phase, having traded Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and Ivica Zubac during the offseason. The schedule includes fewer back-to-backs, providing a more favorable setting for the development of a younger roster led by No. 5 pick Keaton Wagler and returning player Darius Garland. Key return games against former players are scheduled for November 2, March 11, and December 20. The team has eight national TV games despite the transition.
