The Boston Celtics play at Houston tonight, Monday, Nov. 2, 2026, at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), which is 7:30 p.m. Central Time (CT), according to the National Basketball Association (NBA) schedule. The NBA lists 16 Celtics games in November, and a one-page printable of all of them is further down.

The source is the NBA’s 2026-27 regular season schedule from NBA Communications, dated Aug. 13, 2026 and marked “subject to change.” Its times are in ET, so the table below adds the local time only for games played outside the Eastern zone. Weekdays are our own calculation. The Celtics’ previous game was at Orlando on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Celtics game times and TV for every November game

Four of the 16 games are at home and 12 are on the road. “None listed” means the NBA’s schedule shows no national network for that game.

MT is Mountain Time and PT is Pacific Time. National TV is listed for only three of the 16 games. The NBA’s schedule does not include local broadcasts; those are on the Celtics’ official schedule page at nba.com/celtics/schedule.

Which Celtics games count in the NBA Cup?

The schedule flags three November Celtics games as Emirates NBA Cup group play: at Charlotte on Fri., Nov. 6, at Washington on Tue., Nov. 24 and against Atlanta on Fri., Nov. 27. The Oct. 30 home game against Chicago was also a Cup group game. Group play runs Oct. 30 to Nov. 27, per NBA.com’s Aug. 12, 2026 release, with the quarterfinals on Dec. 4 and 5 and the championship on Dec. 11 at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Our NBA Cup 2026 schedule has every round.

Back-to-backs and road games in the Celtics’ November

Reading the dates in the table shows how the month is built. These are our own counts from the NBA’s schedule:

  • Twelve road games, four home. Of the 16 games, only Nov. 4, 15, 16 and 27 are at TD Garden; the other 12 are away.
  • Five back-to-backs: Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 (both away), Nov. 10 and Nov. 11 (both away), Nov. 15 and Nov. 16 (both home), Nov. 21 and Nov. 22 (both away), and Nov. 29 and Nov. 30 (both away).
  • A Western swing from Nov. 18 to Nov. 24: four straight road games at Denver, Sacramento, Golden State and Washington, before the team returns to TD Garden on Nov. 27. The Sacramento game tips at 10 p.m. ET, the latest start of the month.
  • Thanksgiving week: the Celtics play at Washington on Tue., Nov. 24 and host Atlanta on Fri., Nov. 27, the day after Thanksgiving, which is Thu., Nov. 26, 2026. Our Thanksgiving date page has the holiday. There is no Celtics game on Thanksgiving Day itself in the NBA’s schedule.

Is there a printable Celtics schedule for November 2026?

Yes. The one-page sheet lists all 16 November games with the opponent, home or away, ET start time, national TV and NBA Cup games, and it has an ink-saver version. Keep it next to the November 2026 printable calendar or copy the games into a printable weekly calendar. For another team’s month, see our Knicks schedule for November 2026.

Because the NBA’s schedule is “subject to change,” recheck game times on NBA.com before you head out. Results, injuries and tickets are not part of the NBA’s schedule and are not covered here.
