Bucks Schedule December 2026: 11 Games, 7 on the Road, Times in CT

The Milwaukee Bucks open December 2026 at home against the New York Knicks on Wednesday, Dec. 2, at 7 p.m. Central Time (CT), which is 8 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), according to the National Basketball Association (NBA) schedule. The month has 11 games, four at Fiserv Forum and seven on the road.

The NBA’s 2026-27 regular season schedule PDF, dated Aug. 13, 2026 and marked “subject to change,” prints each game in ET and in the home team’s local time. For the Bucks’ road games, the table below converts the ET time to CT (ET minus 1 hour). A printable of the same rows is further down.

No Bucks games from Dec. 3 to Dec. 11

The NBA’s August schedule lists no Bucks game from Thursday, Dec. 3, through Friday, Dec. 11, and its PDF has no regular-season games for any team from Dec. 4 to Dec. 11. After the Dec. 2 home game, the next listed Bucks game is Saturday, Dec. 12, at Memphis.

That window holds the Emirates NBA Cup knockout rounds. NBA.com’s key dates page, updated Nov. 7, 2026, sets the quarterfinals on Dec. 4 and 5, the semifinals on Dec. 8 and/or Dec. 9, and the championship on Dec. 11 at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Whether the Bucks play in the knockouts depends on their group results, which this schedule does not show. Our NBA Cup 2026 schedule has every round, and the Bucks November schedule covers the Cup group games.

Four home games and a road-heavy December

Four of the 11 games are in Milwaukee: Dec. 2 against the Knicks, Dec. 18 against Phoenix, Dec. 20 against Golden State and Dec. 23 against Minnesota. The other seven are away: Memphis, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio come between Dec. 12 and Dec. 21, and the month ends with Orlando on Dec. 27, Oklahoma City on Dec. 29 and Atlanta on Dec. 31.

The only back-to-back is Dec. 20 and 21: home against the Warriors, then at San Antonio. The Bucks have no game on Christmas Day. For the Warriors’ side of the Dec. 20 game, see the Golden State Warriors December schedule.

The earliest tip-off of the month is the New Year’s Eve game at Atlanta, Thursday, Dec. 31, at 2 p.m. CT (3 p.m. ET).
