Sacramento opens it at home, and the Lakers show up before the first week is even over. The 2026-27 LA Clippers schedule wastes no time getting into the crosstown rivalry — L.A.’s two teams meet twice in the first eight days, once at Crypto.com Arena and once right back at Intuit Dome. From there, the calendar stays busy: five meetings with Golden State, a stacked December homestand, and a preseason road trip that lands the Clippers somewhere you wouldn’t expect.
2026-27 LA Clippers Preseason Schedule
| Date | Opponent | Time | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sat, Oct 10 | AT Toronto | 6:30 PM | Rogers Arena |
Only one preseason game appears in this release, and it comes with a quirk worth flagging: Rogers Arena is in Vancouver, not Toronto. This almost certainly reflects the Raptors hosting a preseason game north of the border rather than a data error — the Raptors have played preseason games in Vancouver in past years.

Four Meetings With the Lakers, and It Starts Immediately
Clippers vs Lakers 2026-27 is on the calendar four times, and the first two land inside the opening week — a road game at Crypto.com Arena on October 23, then the return date at Intuit Dome five days later on October 28. That’s an aggressive way to open a rivalry slate, and it means both teams will have an early read on each other well before the rest of the West comes into focus. The other two meetings, January 11 and February 10, are spread out enough to matter differently — one early-season measuring stick, one late-season form check.
A Five-Game Slate With Golden State
The Clippers and Warriors meet five times this season, more than any other opponent on the schedule — November 1, November 29, December 23, February 3, and March 16. Three of those five come within Chase Center or Intuit Dome doubleheaders spaced roughly a month apart, giving both fan bases a near-monthly checkpoint on how the Pacific Division race is shaping up.
A Stacked Holiday Homestand
From December 20 through December 27, the Clippers play four of five games at Intuit Dome — Indiana, Denver, Golden State, and Memphis, broken up only by a home date against Philadelphia. It’s about as friendly a holiday stretch as a schedule can offer, and it sets up a much tougher new year: seven of the next nine games to open January are on the road.
