The NBA regular season schedule was released today. It’s a major milestone in the offseason for the upcoming season. Let’s do a quick analysis of the season and what is coming for the Jazz this season.
Opening Night
The Utah Jazz open the season against the Los Angeles Clippers at home on October 22 at 7:00 ET. They then fly to Sacramento to take on the Kings.
The Jazz’s final game will be against the Lakers. In fact, the Jazz play a lot of teams to end the season that will be playing to win. For a team that will likely be honing in on a losing record to end the season, that could be a big deal.

National Games
The Utah Jazz will get two national games—one on NBC and one on Peacock. No team in the league has fewer than two national games, so it will be nice to see the Jazz in prime time. We’ll see if they get bumped like they did last season. If Ace Bailey has an exciting rookie year, they likely won’t lose those games, and who knows, they might even earn a new one.
New networks
The age of Prime and NBC is here. I, for one, am excited that we’ll get to hear the NBA on NBC theme music again. At least we better!
There are a lot of networks to subscribe to, but the good news is that this competition forces the stations to perform at a high level. With just two channels, there’s little competition or incentive for networks to improve. Now, with all these networks, they create more competition and better products.

But, again, I’m mostly excited for that NBC intro music.
What are you most excited about and how many games do you think the Jazz win this season?
