Spurs Schedule December 2026: Christmas at Knicks, 12 Games

The San Antonio Spurs play at the New York Knicks on Christmas Day, Friday, Dec. 25, at noon Eastern Time (ET), which is 11 a.m. Central Time (CT) in San Antonio, on ABC and ESPN, according to the National Basketball Association (NBA) schedule. The Spurs have 12 games in December 2026, five at home and seven on the road, and open the month at home against Toronto on Thursday, Dec. 3.

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. The table converts every ET time to CT (ET minus 1 hour). A printable of the same rows is further down.

The Knicks’ side of the game is in our Knicks December schedule, and the full holiday lineup is in the Christmas Day 2026 games guide. The date itself is on our guide to when Christmas falls.

The game is the end of a New York trip: the Spurs play at Brooklyn on Wednesday, Dec. 23, then at the Knicks on Dec. 25.

No Spurs games from Dec. 4 to Dec. 12

After the Dec. 3 game against Toronto, the NBA’s August schedule lists no Spurs game until Sunday, Dec. 13, against the LA Clippers. Its PDF has no league games from Dec. 4 to Dec. 11.

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 Friday, Dec. 11 at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Whether the Spurs play in the knockouts is not known from this schedule; any Cup game would come on top of the 12 above. Our NBA Cup 2026 schedule has every round, and the Spurs November schedule covers the group games.

Back-to-backs and repeat opponents in the Spurs’ December

The rows show two back-to-backs: Tuesday, Dec. 15, at Cleveland and Wednesday, Dec. 16, at Toronto, then Sunday, Dec. 20, at New Orleans and Monday, Dec. 21, at home against Milwaukee. Toronto is the only opponent that appears twice, at home on Dec. 3 and away on Dec. 16.

The five home games are Dec. 3, 13, 18, 21 and 27. The two games with a national network are Dec. 15 at Cleveland (NBC and Peacock) and Dec. 25 at New York (ABC and ESPN). The earliest tip-off in CT is the Christmas game at 11 a.m., followed by the New Year’s Eve game at Charlotte, Thursday, Dec. 31, at noon CT (1 p.m. ET).
