NBA to Play 2026 Games in Berlin and London; Announces Future Games in Manchester and Paris

The NBA will have regular season games in Berlin, London and Manchester in the 2026–2027 season as part of a European swing that includes more games in Paris over the coming years.

The Memphis Grizzlies and the Orlando Magic will play regular-season games in Berlin on January 15, 2026, and in London on Sunday, Jan. 18, 2026. The league also will play regular-season games in Manchester and Paris in 2027 and in Berlin and Paris in 2028. The games will be held at Uber Arena (Berlin), The O2 (London), Co-op Live (Manchester) and the Accor Arena (Paris).

“Announcing the next three season’s regular-season games in Europe reflects the incredible momentum and appetite for NBA basketball in France, Germany, the UK and across the region,” said George Aivazoglou, NBA managing director, Europe and Middle East. “We look forward to welcoming the Grizzlies and the Magic to Berlin and London and to engaging fans, players and the local communities through the games and the surrounding event.”

The NBA Berlin Game 2026 presented by Tissot will mark the 14th game featuring an NBA team in Germany since 1984 and the league’s first regular-season game in the country. The NBA London Game 2026 presented by Tissot will be the 19th game featuring an NBA team in the UK since 1993 and the league’s 10th regular-season game in London.

The game in Manchester in 2027 will mark the second game featuring an NBA team in Manchester (2013) and the league’s first regular-season game in the city. The game in Paris in 2027 will mark the 16th game featuring an NBA team in France since 1991 and the league’s sixth regular-season game in Paris.

The Grizzlies have played four times in Europe before and the Magic, with German brothers Franz and Moritz Wagner plus second-year German forward Tristan da Silva, have played three times before in Europe.

As the home to Basketball England on the Etihad Campus, Manchester’s recent investment includes the refurbishment of three major outdoor basketball courts, as well as being the home of the National Basketball Performance Centre, providing junior and senior leagues, wheelchair and SEN basketball, community drop-in sessions and more. Manchester’s own Magic and Mystics have called the city home since 2000, winning over 80 national titles.

“Manchester once again has shown what a magnificent draw it is for major events, and we are thrilled to welcome the NBA back to our city,” said Bev Craig, leader of Manchester City Council. “With a growing basketball scene in Manchester this event feels like the perfect fit and will  give so many people in our city the chance to see what the best athletes in the sport can do on our home turf.”
