Bay Area basketball is back where it belongs. The Golden State Warriors open their 2026-27 home schedule at Chase Center on Friday, October 23, hosting the Memphis Grizzlies at 7:00 PM in San Francisco.
Golden State begins the season on the road on Wednesday, October 21, against the Los Angeles Lakers before returning to Mission Bay for its first home game. The matchup pits Steph Curry and the Warriors against a Memphis team led by rising stars, including the No. 3 overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft, Cam Boozer, alongside Zach Edey and Jaylen Wells.
Chase Center is also set for a big October: the Warriors host the Lakers again on October 30 as part of the Emirates NBA Cup, giving fans two high-energy home nights in the opening month. Expect the plaza at Thrive City to be buzzing before tip-off, with food, music and fan activities lighting up the waterfront district.
Happy City News brings you the best of San Francisco, from the waterfront to the top of the Bay Area sports world. Grab your blue and gold and be part of opening night.
