Season Opener: A Thrilling Matchup Against the Phoenix Suns
The Portland Trail Blazers will officially kick off their 2026-27 season on October 21 against the Phoenix Suns. After a stunning play-in tournament victory last season, the Blazers will look to push the Suns for an exciting matchup. Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks will be eager to get their season underway, but with a new-look roster featuring Ja Morant and Damian Lillard, the Blazers should be confident in their chances.
Jerami Grant's Return: A Tribute to the Memphis Grizzlies
The Blazers and Grizzlies had one of the league's most dynamic trades in the offseason, which brought Morant to Portland for Kris Murray and Jerami Grant. A tribute video should be in the cards for Murray and Grant as they look to punish the Blazers for trading them as members of their new Grizzlies squad, which also features No. 3 overall pick Cam Boozer.
Playoff Rematch: A Chance for Redemption Against the San Antonio Spurs
The Blazers lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Spurs in five games, so Portland should have this game circled pretty early in the calendar. It's the first of four matchups between the two playoff rivals. With Portland hosting the first matchup, it should give them an edge after the last time the two teams played at the Moda Center. The Blazers were leading by double digits in Game 4, but they ultimately lost to the Spurs, which left them with a 3-1 deficit in the series.
Micah Nori's Return to Minneapolis: A Back-to-Back Against the Timberwolves
The Blazers have a new head coach in Micah Nori, who spent the last five seasons on the Timberwolves bench under Chris Finch. In one of the first back-to-backs of the season, the Wolves will host the Blazers for two games as part of a six-game trip, which is tied for the longest of the year. During this trip, the Blazers will visit the Sacramento Kings before heading to Minneapolis.
Ja Morant's Homecoming: A Nationally-Televised Game Against the Grizzlies
The Blazers face the Grizzlies early in the year, but Morant's first game as a visitor inside FedEx Forum won't take place until early February in a nationally-televised game on Amazon Prime Video. This will be part of a two-game stretch for the Blazers in Memphis, giving Morant some time to visit with people he's so close with in the city.
The Tiago Splitter Bowl: A Valentine's Day Showdown Against the Chicago Bulls
The Blazers will have a back-to-back on the weekend of Valentine's Day, with the second half coming on Sunday the 14th when they host the Chicago Bulls, who are now coached by former Blazers boss Tiago Splitter. The game also happens to take place on the day of the Super Bowl as part of a seven-game slate.
Season Finale: A Thrilling Conclusion Against the San Antonio Spurs
The 82nd game on the Blazers' schedule will be a thrilling conclusion to the season against the San Antonio Spurs, who have been a thorn in the side of the Blazers all season. The last result was a 114-95 loss for the Blazers, and they will look to bounce back in their final game of the season.
Last result: San Antonio Spurs 114-95 Portland Trail Blazers (2026-04-29). Recent form (last 5): 0W-0D-5L (LLLLL, most recent first); lost the last 5.
