NBA Games Today: Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026 (Halloween) Schedule, Times and TV

There are 7 National Basketball Association (NBA) games today, Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026 (Halloween), with the first tip-off at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) and the last at 8:30 p.m. ET, per the NBA.com games page. NBA.com lists all seven as regular-season games, and none of them is an NBA Cup game. NBA TV has two of them: 76ers at Hornets and Thunder at Rockets.

The game list and TV details come from NBA.com, fetched Oct. 29, 2026. We cross-checked the arenas against the CBS Sports schedule, which lists “all times US/Eastern.” This page does not carry live scores. Once a game has started, the CBS Sports schedule shows the score and then the result.

Do the games overlap with trick-or-treating?

The 6:00 p.m. ET game and every later tip-off fall between 6:00 and 8:30 p.m. ET, the early evening when trick-or-treating usually happens. Each town sets its own hours; our Halloween 2026 trick-or-treat times story has the sunset times.
