Breaking Down the Phoenix Suns’ 2025-26 Schedule originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Phoenix Suns will enter the 2025-26 NBA season with a new-look roster after making major changes this offseason.

The Suns have nine games that can be caught on national TV - down from the 19 matchups offered the previous year: There's a handful of reunion games on this slate, as Durant (Rockets), Beal (Clippers) and Deandre Ayton (Lakers) all will generate considerable attention when those matchups arrive.

The Suns and Mavs only play each other three times next season. Number one pick Cooper Flagg will make his debut in Phoenix on February 10th, facing his Duke teammate Khaman Maluach.

The Phoenix Suns’ full 2025-26 schedule was unveiled Thursday, and it opens with a home matchup against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday, Oct. 22. Phoenix will get a quick look at fellow recently traded former guards Bradley Beal and Chris Paul in the second game of the year against the Clippers on Friday, Oct. 24, in Los Angeles.

The Houston Rockets arguably made the biggest splash of the 2025 NBA Offseason when they acquired Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns. Even at 36 years old, Durant is still one of the best scorers in the NBA and is coming off an excellent season despite the Suns’ obvious turbulence.

Miami was prepared to offer Andrew Wiggins, Terry Rozier, Jaime Jaquez, Highsmith, and the 20th pick in the 2025 draft for Kevin Durant.

The Phoenix Suns have just nine games on national television going into the season. CBS Sports writer Jasmyn Wimbish wrote about the team's fall from grace afte
