SAN FRANCISCO – The National Basketball Association announced today that the Golden State Warriors’ 2023-24 season, presented by Kaiser Permanente, will feature 29 national TV appearances on ABC, ESPN and TNT. The Warriors will open the season at home at Chase Center versus the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, October 24 on TNT.
Tipoff time for all Golden State weekday home games during the 2023-24 regular season will be at 7 p.m. (PT). All Saturday and Sunday home games will tip off at 5:30 p.m., with the exception of a Sunday, February 25 meeting with Denver (4 p.m. on ESPN) and the regular season finale vs. Utah on Sunday, April 14 (12:30 p.m.).
Of Golden State’s 29 national television appearances this season, five games are scheduled on ABC, 12 on TNT and 12 on ESPN. The Warriors will make an additional 12 appearances on NBA TV.
The Warriors will open the season at home for the 18th time in the last 22 seasons but will play seven of their first nine games away from home. Golden State concludes the season with nine of its last 12 games on the road. The team’s longest homestand is a seven-game stretch from December 28 – January 10, while Golden State’s longest road trip is a seven-game, 12-day trip from March 24 to April 4.
Golden State is slated for 15 back-to-back sets, its fourth-straight season with 15 back-to-backs, including six of the home-home variety. Seven of the back-to-back sets will take place on the road, while the Warriors will have one instance each of a home-away and away-home set.
Golden State’s road schedule is highlighted by a trio of holiday games: Christmas Day at the NBA champion Denver Nuggets (Dec. 25 at 11:30 a.m. on ABC), Martin Luther King Jr. Day at the Memphis Grizzlies (Jan. 15 at 3 p.m. on TNT) and Easter Sunday at the San Antonio Spurs (March 31 at 4 p.m. on NBA TV). The Christmas Day game marks Golden State’s 12th straight appearance on the holiday (13th in the last 14 years), while the team will play on MLK Day for the 11th time in the last 12 seasons and on Easter Sunday for the eighth time in the last 10 years (including postseason).
The 2023-24 regular season schedule includes 80 announced games, with the last two contests of the 82-game schedule to be determined based on the results of the In-Season Tournament Group Play. Following Group Play, the Knockout Rounds of the In-Season Tournament will consist of single-elimination games in the Quarterfinals (played in team markets on December 4, and December 5) followed by the Semifinals and Championship (taking place in Las Vegas on December 7 and December 9, respectively). The 22 teams that do not qualify for the Quarterfinals will play a pair of regular season games on December 6 and December 8 (one home, one away). All games of the In-Season Tournament, with the exception of the Championship, are considered regular season games.
