Nets face huge test to start 2026-27 schedule as they look to finally right ship
August 14, 2026
The Nets spent the last two years trying to pick out as many losses on their schedule as they could find in a (failed) attempt to get as high a draft pick as possible.
This season has the potential to be a bit better, though it is more likely that plenty more losses are on the way.
Now that their full schedule has been released, let’s take a look at five takeaways:
1. It gets off to a grueling start. They will play their first 10 games across 19 days, including three back-to-backs. And six of those 10 games are on the road. Of the 10 games, seven are against teams that were in the playoffs or play-in last year.
