NBA games today: schedule, start times and event pages
This page lists every NBA event the schedule data currently carries: games in progress, tip-offs coming up and recently finished games. Start times are shown in U.S. Eastern Time (ET), so a late-night tip-off in the United States is easy to place on your clock.
Open any game to see its status, start time, venue and broadcaster in one place, with the live score while it is being played.
How the NBA season is organised
The National Basketball Association has 30 teams split into the Eastern and Western Conferences, with three divisions in each. Every team plays 82 regular-season games. The top six teams in each conference qualify for the playoffs directly, while the teams seeded seventh to tenth enter a play-in tournament for the last two places per conference.
The playoffs are four rounds of best-of-seven series, ending with the NBA Finals. Because the schedule is packed from October to April, the Upcoming section of this page usually has several games on any given day.
Finding an NBA game and its start time
Use the Live now, Upcoming and Recently ended sections to jump to the game you want, or type a team name into the search box above the list. Each card shows the status, the start time and the broadcaster when one is listed. If you only want a specific day, the schedule page lets you move forward and back one day at a time.
Looking for rankings instead? The NBA standings page shows each team’s record when the data provider returns a table.
Understanding NBA game status
Live means the feed marks the game as in progress. Upcoming means it has not started yet. Ended means the listed end time has passed. A regulation NBA game has four 12-minute quarters, and tied games continue in five-minute overtime periods, so a live game can run longer than its listed end time.
Frequently asked questions
What time are NBA games on?
Most NBA games start in the evening, with a few afternoon games on weekends. All times on this site are shown in U.S. Eastern Time (ET), which is UTC-5 in winter (EST) and UTC-4 in summer (EDT), so the label on each card always says which one applies.
Where can I see NBA standings?
The NBA standings page lists team records by conference when the sports data provider returns a table. If it is empty, it is usually because the data source is temporarily unavailable.
Why does a game show no TV channel?
A channel appears only when the league’s schedule data names a broadcaster. Check again closer to the start time.
How often are scores updated?
Scoreboard data is refreshed about once a minute and is only shown when it can be matched to the event by team names. It can lag behind the live action.
