The San Antonio Spurs’ 2026-27 NBA schedule<\/strong> includes several major changes. The team will play games in France and England<\/strong> as part of the NBA’s Global Games, while appearing on national television a league-high 34 times<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Spurs will also play three home games in Austin<\/strong>, one more than in recent seasons. The additional game is scheduled for October 23<\/strong>, during the weekend of the United States Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

San Antonio remains home, but the Spurs are expanding their reach<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Because of their international commitments involving Victor Wembanyama<\/strong>, the Spurs will play just 36 of their 41 regular-season home games in San Antonio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“San Antonio is home<\/strong>, and we’re looking forward to bringing our community together while reaching audiences in Austin, Paris and Manchester,” Spurs CEO RC Buford<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n

The move is also part of the franchise’s broader strategy to strengthen its presence along the I-35 corridor<\/strong> connecting San Antonio and Austin.<\/p>\n

The new downtown arena project<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The scheduling decisions come as uncertainty remains surrounding the financing of a proposed new arena complex in downtown San Antonio.<\/p>\n

In November, Bexar County voters approved $311 million in public funding<\/strong> for the project, which is part of the larger $1.3 billion Project Marvel<\/strong> development plan.<\/p>\n

The Spurs have committed at least $500 million<\/strong> toward construction and have also agreed to cover potential cost overruns. San Antonio’s city council separately approved $489 million in municipal bond funding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Buford: “The vote has taken place”<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones<\/strong> has pushed for residents to reauthorize the city’s financial commitment this fall, citing a projected budget deficit.<\/p>\n

Buford, however, has made the Spurs’ position clear:<\/p>\n

“The vote has taken place. The commitments have been made. The work is underway.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

The 2026-27 season will therefore be significant for the Spurs both on and off the court, with the franchise balancing its international expansion, its growing presence in Austin and the long-term project of building a new home in downtown San Antonio.<\/p>\n
