2023-24 Houston Rockets complete schedule, broadcast information

Complete with a release video featuring Jabari Smith Jr., the Houston Rockets’ schedule for the 2023-24 NBA season is now available.

The rebuilding Rockets have had the Western Conference’s worst record for three years running, but there’s new energy this season. Ime Udoka is in as head coach, replacing Stephen Silas. Houston’s young prospect core of Smith, Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson was supplemented this offseason with veteran free agent signings led by Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks.

Scroll on for a month-by-month look at all games, opponents and tip times for the Rockets during the upcoming 2023-24 campaign. Training camp will open in early October, followed by the start of preseason games in the second week of that month.

Based on the NBA’s new in-season tournament, the current 2023-24 schedule will have two additions at a later date. Teams who fail to advance to the knockout stage of that tournament will have two games added to their schedule on Dec. 6 and Dec. 8, while teams who lose in the quarterfinals will have one game added on Dec. 8.

Live broadcast information

Though the national television schedule can be revised at a later date, the Rockets have four games scheduled to air nationally. Those are the Dec. 26 home game vs. Indiana (NBA TV); a Jan. 12 matchup at Detroit (ESPN); the Jan. 15 game at Philadelphia (NBA TV); and an in-state clash at Dallas on April 7 (NBA TV).

All games in NBA arenas will be televised regionally on the team’s television broadcast partner, currently AT&T SportsNet Southwest (though the name could change soon). For out-of-market viewers, games can be streamed with a subscription to NBA League Pass.

Game audio is available through the radio broadcast home of the Houston Rockets, SportsTalk 790 KBME and NewsRadio 740 KTRH. All games are available in Spanish on TUDN 93.3 FM.

Facts and Figures

  • The Rockets open the season with a pair of road games at Orlando on Oct. 25 and at San Antonio on Oct. 27 before hosting Golden State for their home opener on Oct. 29.

  • After the completion of the in-season tournament, the Rockets will play 11 of 15 at Toyota Center from Dec. 11 through Jan. 6.  During this stretch, Houston will host Phoenix on Dec. 27 and Detroit on New Year’s Day, marking the first NBA opportunity Rockets rookie Amen Thompson will have to face his twin brother, Ausar.
