Three preseason games, and the Lakers show up in the first one. The 2026-27 Golden State Warriors Schedule opens its exhibition slate October 6 against L.A., then turns around and opens the real season against the same team two and a half weeks later — this time on the road at Crypto.com Arena. That rivalry gets four more regular-season dates before April, so whoever built this calendar clearly wasn’t worried about repetition.
2026-27 Golden State Warriors Preseason Schedule
Only three preseason dates appear in this release. Most clubs’ full exhibition slate runs five or six games, so either Golden State’s preseason is genuinely shorter this year or this export is partial.

Four Nights With the Lakers, Bookending the Season
Warriors vs Lakers 2026-27 happens four times in the regular season — Oct 21, Oct 30, Jan 21, and Mar 14 — on top of the October 6 preseason meeting.
- First lakers vs golden state warriors meeting: October 21 at Crypto.com Arena (ESPN)
- Second lakers vs golden state warriors contest: October 30 at Chase Center (Amazon)
- Third lakers vs golden state warriors date: January 21 at Chase Center (Amazon)
- Fourth lakers vs golden state warriors matchup: March 14 at Crypto.com Arena (NBC)
The road finale in Los Angeles on March 14 lands with under a month left in the regular season, so if playoff seeding is still live, that date carries real weight.
A Five-Game Eastern Road Trip Before Christmas
From December 12 to December 20, Golden State plays five straight road games:
- Cleveland
- Memphis
- Indiana
- Toronto
- Milwaukee
All Eastern Conference opponents, all in nine days. It lands right before a stretch of marquee home games against Denver on Christmas and Minnesota two days later.

Back-to-Back in Oklahoma City to Close It Out
The season doesn’t wind down gently. Golden State finishes with:
- Back-to-back road games in Oklahoma City on April 8 and 9
- Season finale at home against Utah on April 11
A back-to-back against a top-tier opponent in the final week is rough scheduling no matter where a team sits in the standings.
