Warriors' 2025-26 NBA schedule released, featuring matchups vs. Lakers, Clippers
The Warriors' marquee 2025-26 regular-season games and NBA Cup matchups already have been announced by the league, but on Thursday, the rest of Golden State's slate was revealed.
After opening the season against the Lakers in Los Angeles on Oct. 21, the Warriors return home for a four-game homestand against the Denver Nuggets on Oct. 23, the Portland Trail Blazers on Oct. 24, the Memphis Grizzlies on Oct. 27 and the LA Clippers on Oct. 28.
In addition to hosting the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day, the Warriors also welcome the Miami Heat to Chase Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Day – Monday, Jan. 19.
NBC Sports Bay Area will air 63 regular-season Warriors games, with each game also available in the NBC Sports app.
The Warriors are scheduled to have seven games on NBC and four games on Peacock, the new broadcast home of the NBA.
The Warriors begin their quest to win the 2025 NBA Cup on Nov. 7 against the Nuggets. Golden State also has Group C games on the road against the San Antonio Spurs on Nov. 14 and at home against the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 21 and the Houston Rockets on Nov. 26.
Golden State gets to test itself against the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder three times by early January. The Warriors travel to OKC on Nov. 11 for their first meeting. Then the Thunder visit San Francisco on Dec. 2 and Jan. 2. The final matchup between the two Western Conference powers comes on March 7 at Paycom Center.
As Steph Curry and LeBron James wind down their Hall of Fame careers, every meeting between the two superstars carries extra weight, which is why the NBA has them facing off on Opening Night. But after that game, the Warriors and Lakers don't see each other again until Feb. 7, again at Crypto.com Arena. The two meetings at Chase Center come on Feb. 28 and April 9.
After Kevin Durant and the Rockets visit San Francisco in late November, the Warriors travel to Houston on March 5. The final meeting between the teams occurs on April 5 at Chase Center.
The Warriors will make their first trip of the season to Sacramento on Nov. 5, with the Kings traveling down I-80 for a Jan. 9 game at Chase Center. The final two meetings between the Northern California rivals will come within four days at the end of the season. They will play April 7 in San Francisco and at Golden 1 Center on April 10 – Golden State's second-to-last regular-season game.
If Steph Curry hadn't injured his hamstring in Game 1 of the Warriors' second-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves in May, Golden State might have won the series. This season, they won't see each other until Jan. 24 and Jan. 26 when they play a mini two-game series at Target Center. Their only meeting at Chase Center is March 13.
If Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Co. are deep in the playoff race, the final game of the season could have massive implications, as the Warriors face the Clippers at Intuit Dome on April 12.
The Warriors have high hopes entering the season and they'll learn a lot about the roster during the first 20 games.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Andruw Monasterio hit a three-run home run in the 11th inning and the Milwaukee Brewers won their franchise-record 14th game in a row 6-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night. It was the 13th straight series loss for the Reds against the Brewers. Elly De La Cruz scored on a sacrifice fly in the 11th and Noelvi Marte hit a solo home run to bring the game within one. Matt McLain hit deep to center field, but Brandon Lockridge caught it for the final out. Trevor Megill (4-2) allowed one run and one hit, striking out two in the 10th. Nick Mears earned his first save of the season. Reds lefty Joe La Sorsa (0-1) gave up three runs and three hits. CUBS 3, PIRATES 1 CHICAGO (AP) — Seiya Suzuki hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning, and Chicago beat Pittsburgh for a sorely needed victory. Kyle Tucker hit a leadoff single against Evan Sisk (0-1) and stole second before coming home on Suzuki's grounder into center field. Nico Hoerner tacked on a two-out RBI double following an intentional walk to Ian Happ. Chicago had dropped four of five, including a 3-2 loss in the series opener on Friday. Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga pitched seven innings of three-hit ball. Andrew Kittredge (3-3) got three outs before Brad Keller handled the ninth for his first save. Tommy Pham homered for Pittsburgh, which lost for the sixth time in seven games. Rookie Mike Burrows permitted one run and five hits in five innings. Imanaga retired his first 10 batters before Pham connected for his sixth homer in the fourth, a 428-foot drive to left. The Cubs got the run back in the bottom half when Tucker scored on Carson Kelly's two-out single. BLUE JAYS 14, RANGERS 2 TORONTO (AP) — Myles Straw had five RBIs in his first career multihomer game, and Toronto hammered struggling Texas. Daulton Varsho and Davis Schneider also went deep as the AL-leading Blue Jays improved to 42-20 at home. Varsho went 3 for 3 and scored three times, and Schneider had three hits and four RBIs. Straw hit a three-run homer off Patrick Corbin in Toronto's six-run second inning. He also connected for his fourth homer in the third, a two-run shot off Jon Gray. He finished with four hits. Varsho made it 10-1 with a first-pitch homer off Gray in the fifth, his 13th. Schneider added a three-run shot off position player Rowdy Tellez in the seventh, his eighth. Toronto's Eric Lauer (8-2) allowed one run and four hits in five-plus innings, winning his fourth straight decision. Jake Burger had three hits, including two RBI singles, but Texas lost for the eighth time in nine games. NATIONALS 2, PHILLIES 0 WASHINGTON (AP) — Cade Cavalli earned his first major league victory, James Wood hit a two-run double, and Washington defeated Philadelphia. Cavalli struck out five and scattered seven hits over seven innings for Washington. The last-place Nationals have won three of four. Trea Turner had three hits for NL East-leading Philadelphia, which was shut out for the eighth time this season and lost for the fourth time in five games. Cavalli (1-0) was Washington's first-round pick in the 2020 amateur draft and debuted in August 2022. He made only one start with the Nationals because of a shoulder injury, and didn't make it back to the majors until Aug. 6, after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023. In his third start with Washington this season, Cavalli allowed only one runner to reach third. The 27-year-old right-hander retired the final eight batters he faced and needed only 90 pitches for the longest outing of his career. Washington didn't get a runner past second against Phillies starter Taijuan Walker (4-6) until the fifth inning, when Dylan Crews walked and moved to third on Brady House's single. Both runners scored when Wood doubled into the gap in right-center. METS 3, MARINERS 1 NEW YORK (AP) — Nolan McLean provided the struggling Mets a much-needed lift on Saturday, tossing 5 1/3 scoreless innings in his major league debut as New York beat Seattle. McLean (1-0) allowed two hits with four walks and struck out eight to help lift the Mets to just their third win in their last 17 games. The 24-year-old right-hander, a 2023 draft pick out of Oklahoma State, showed off a five-pitch arsenal that included a high-70s curveball, a high-80s sweeper, a 90-mph cutter and sinkers and fastballs measured in the high 90s. The crowd gave him three standing ovations — first when he walked off the mound in the sixth and again when he was pictured on the scoreboard prior to the seventh and ninth innings. Francisco Lindor had an RBI double in the third before the Mets added insurance in the seventh, when Juan Soto had a sacrifice fly and Pete Alonso hit a run-scoring double. Alonso now has 100 RBIs, the fourth time in his career he's reached the century mark. Edwin Díaz gave up Eugenio Suárez's ninth-inning homer but got the final six outs for his 24th save. RED SOX 7, MARLINS 5 BOSTON (AP) — Trevor Story hit a three-run homer, and Boston held off Miami Marlins for a victory. Roman Anthony and Alex Bregman — Boston's first two hitters — each had two hits as the Red Sox improved to 41-22 at Fenway Park. Brayan Bello (9-6) allowed two runs and four hits in 6 1/3 innings. Masataka Yoshida hit a two-run single in the first, and the Red Sox added four more runs in the third. Bregman's RBI single made it 7-0 in the fourth. Agustín Ramírez and Troy Johnston homered for Miami, which lost for the seventh time in eight games. Cal Quantrill (4-10) was tagged for seven runs and eight hits in 3 2/3 innings. The Marlins rallied in the ninth against Isaiah Campbell. Heriberto Hernández hit a two-out RBI single and scored on Eric Wagaman's triple. Derek Hill added a run-scoring single. Aroldis Chapman then replaced Campbell and retired Javier Sanoja on a grounder to shortstop, earning his 22nd save. ASTROS 5, ORIOLES 4, 12 INNINGS HOUSTON (AP) — Ramón Urìas beat Jackson Holliday's throw to first, allowing Carlos Correa to score from third and Houston outlasted Baltimore Orioles n 12 innings. Urìas helped the AL West-leading Astros to their sixth walk-off victory of the season a night after ending a perfect game bid in the eighth against his old team. Houston increased its division lead to 1 1/2 games. With the bases loaded and one out, Urías — who was 0 for 6 — hit a grounder to third base, but instead of throwing home to get the second out, Jordan Westburg tried for the double play. Enyel De Los Santos (4-3) overcame the automatic runner and kept the Orioles off the board in the 11th and 12th. BRAVES 10, GUARDIANS 1 CLEVELAND (AP) — Michael Harris II homered and doubled, Nacho Alvarez Jr. and Nick Allen each had three hits and Atlanta beat Cleveland. The Braves have won four straight and eight or their last 10 games, both season highs. Ronald Acuña Jr. and Marcell Ozuna had two hits apiece for the Braves. Joey Wentz (4-3) allowed one run and three hits in six innings, striking out five. The Braves struck first in the top of the second, as Alvarez drove in a run before Allen doubled in two. Bryan Rocchio hit a solo homer in the third to bring the Guardians within two runs, but Atlanta answered with seven runs in the middle innings. Hunter Stratton pitched the final three innings for his first save. Slade Cecconi (5-6) allowed eight runs (six earned) and 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings. ROYALS 6, WHITE SOX 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — John Rave homered playing in place of the ailing Vinnie Pasquantino and Kansas City beat Chicago to move above .500 for the first time since June 10. Pasquantino left in the first inning because of heat-related illness. The game-time temperature was 94 degrees, with the humidity above 50%. Nick Loftin moved to first base, and Rave took over for Loftin in left. Michael Lorenzen made his first start for Kansas City since July 6. He allowed three hits in four scoreless innings. Daniel Lynch IV (5-2) was the winner. Mike Yastrzemski led off the first with a homer off Sean Burke (4-10). The Royals added an unearned run in the second, and Rave made it 3-0 in the third with his fourth home. In the fifth, Rave singled and scored on Maikel Garcia's two-run double. Loftin had an RBI single in the sixth. Andrew Benintendi doubled in two runs for Chicago in the eighth. TIGERS 8, TWINS 5 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Trey Sweeney drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, Casey Mize struck out 10 batters, and Detroit beat Minnesota. Kerry Carpenter homered and Jahmai Jones had two hits and two RBIs for the Tigers, who have won six of their last seven games. Mize (12-4) gave up four runs on four hits to win his third straight start. The 10 strikeouts ties his career high. Kyle Finnegan pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his 24th save and fourth in four chances since arriving in a July 31 trade with the Nationals. Brooks Lee had a triple and drove in three runs for the Twins, who have lost five of six games. With the score tied 3-3 in the seventh, the Tigers rallied for three runs against r Brooks Kriske (0-1). Wenceel Pérez led off with a double and moved to third on an infield groundout. Dillon Dingler walked, and Sweeney followed with a smash that third baseman Royce Lewis couldn't handle. Pérez scored on what was ruled a single for Sweeney. Jones drove in another run with a double, and a third run scored on a wild pitch. The Twins got two back in the seventh and loaded the based with two out in the eighth, but Will Vest struck out Lee on three pitches to end that threat. Detroit added two runs in the ninth. YANKEES 12, CARDINALS 8 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ben Rice homered and tied a career high with seven RBIs, Aaron Judge also went deep in his first multi-hit game since the All-Star break and New York beat St. Louis. Trent Grisham singled four times and scored four runs, and Ryan McMahon hit his first homer since being acquired by the Yankees to overcome a shaky start by Max Fried (13-5). Masyn Winn hit a three-run homer and Nolan Gorman had a two-run shot for St. Louis as Fried yielded multiple homers for the third time this season. Fried notched his 1,000th career strikeout when he fanned Alec Burleson immediately after Winn's second-inning homer, but he exited after yielding seven runs on eight hits in five-plus innings. Gorman's 389-foot blast ended his outing with no outs in the sixth. After two-out infield singles by Winn and Burleson in the ninth, David Bednar entered and induced Iván Herrera to foul out for his 20th save. ROCKIES 10, DIAMONDBACKS 7 DENVER (AP) — Kyle Farmer had a go-ahead two-run single and Tyler Freeman added a two-run homer in Colorado's six-run run eighth inning in a victory over Arizona. After Andrew Hoffmann (1-1) struck out Hunter Goodman to open the eighth, Brenton Doyle doubled to left, Warming Bernabel and Kyle Karros walked, and Doyle doubled to center to drive in two and cut it to 7-6. Andrew Saalfrank took over for Hoffmann, allowing Farmer's go-ahead single and Freeman's homer. Ryan Rolison (1-0) pitched the eighth for Colorado, and Victor Vodnik worked the ninth for his sixth save. RAYS 2, GIANTS 1 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Yandy Díaz and Brandon Lowe hit consecutive two-out RBI singles in the eighth inning, and Tampa Bay rallied for the second straight day to beat San Francisco. The Rays' offense had been on mute much of the day against three-time Cy Young winner Justin Verlander, but broke out when Verlander left after seven scoreless innings. After No. 9 hitter Nick Fortes was hit by a pitch with two outs, Chandler Simpson singled before Díaz singled in Tampa Bay's first run off José Buttó (3-3). Lowe followed with his second hit of the game to drive in a run and hand the Giants their seventh consecutive loss. Edwin Uceta (9-2) retired four batters. Pete Fairbanks pitched the ninth for his 22nd save. Rays starter Adrian Houser matched his season-high of six strikeouts and allowed four hits over five scoreless innings making his third start since being acquired from the Chicago White Sox. DODGERS 6, PADRES 0 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Blake Snell limited his former team to five hits in six innings, and Los Angeles regained the NL West lead with a victory over San Diego. The Dodgers drew six walks over the first two innings against Padres right-hander Dylan Cease, when they scored five runs on just one hit. Teoscar Hernandez hit his 20th homer of the season in the fifth inning. Snell (3-1) was making his first start against the Padres after leaving the club following the 2023 season, when he won the NL Cy Young Award. He walked two and struck out three. Cease (5-11) gave up two hits but walked six in 3 1/3 innings. He allowed five runs — three earned. The first three Dodgers batters of the game – Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Will Smith – all walked and scored in the first inning. Ohtani and Smith also walked in the second and scored when Padres center fielder Jackson Merrill dropped Freddie Freeman's flyball at the warning track in right-center field.

Dodgers step back, let Padres run themselves out of series, NL West lead
LOS ANGELES — There are no secrets between Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres. They leaned on him as they toppled the Los Angeles Dodgers in their most significant postseason series in decades. They got him at his best. His three years there included his second Cy Young campaign before he left to tour with their California-based division mates. Advertisement 'They know me so well,' Snell said. 'So they understand what the game's going to be.' With Snell donning a Dodgers uniform against the Padres for the first time, they knew to push the envelope. Take Snell's 2023 Cy Young campaign, when the left-hander allowed base runners close to free rein. Twenty-five stolen bases were taken while Snell was on the mound, and only one of them was thrown out successfully. It was a rare weakness worth exploiting — if you could do so successfully. When Fernando Tatis Jr. led off Saturday with a single off Snell, it was time to run. A Dodgers team that has bumbled through much of the last six weeks was more than willing to let the Padres beat themselves for a change. The Dodgers took advantage of their rival's ugly performance for a 6-0 win that will ensure Los Angeles will end this weekend with at least a share of first place in the NL West. The Padres tried to get aggressive on Snell. They cost themselves a whole offensive inning in the process. Don't run on Will! — Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) August 17, 2025 'Essentially, they played 24 outs,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. 'We had a plan, and they made some plays,' Padres manager Mike Shildt said. Tatis got thrown out at second just as quickly as he'd reached base, as Will Smith uncorked a perfect throw to nab him. Luis Arraez and Manny Machado each followed with hits, but their ensuing double steal got snuffed out as Smith threw out Machado on the back end. Xander Bogaerts tried the same to lead off the second inning; Smith rifled a throw to second baseman Miguel Rojas to mark the Padres' third out on the bases in a span of just five hitters. 'Looking back, maybe we shouldn't have gone,' Bogaerts said. 'I got my jump. I thought I was safe by a mile. But (Smith) has a good arm, man.' LIKE WE SAID, DON'T RUN ON WILL. — Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) August 17, 2025 That, Snell said, allowed him the chance to settle in. 'That kind of set the tone,' Snell said. Snell would complete six scoreless innings on the night, his longest start to date in a Dodgers uniform. At least one of those innings was completed on Smith's right arm, as he became just the third catcher in a century to catch three runners attempting to steal within the first four outs of a game. Advertisement 'They know him,' Roberts said. 'They've had him. So there must have been something they were keying on or saw as some type of competitive advantage. But fortunately, Will made some great throws and kept them at bay.' By then, the Dodgers had already jumped out to a big enough lead to give Snell some breathing room. Dylan Cease walked the first three batters he faced and had already walked four batters in the first inning alone before Michael Conforto lashed a bases-loaded single to expand an early lead to three runs. Conforto's season-long struggles had reached another new nadir this past week, when Roberts sat him down and illustrated the stakes. Conforto's $17 million signing hasn't produced the results anyone wanted. So Conforto should stop chasing them. 'I expect more out of myself,' said Conforto, whose .633 OPS is sixth-worst among hitters with at least 350 plate appearances. 'We talked through a lot of things, but that's the main thing. Just to fight for every inch in those situations.' Saturday, he worked a 3-0 count against Cease and did not expand. He missed a chance to square up a 3-1 fastball over the middle but stayed in to drive a hanging curveball through the hole to bring home a pair. The Dodgers were more than willing recipients an inning later when Freddie Freeman followed two more Cease walks with a lazy fly ball to center field that drifted toward the track and clanked off Jackson Merrill's glove to bring home two more runs. 'It's certainly good to be on the other side of things,' Roberts said. 'Obviously the last month you could see from watching us play there are things that we just don't do well to not help ourselves. The last couple nights, we've caught some breaks.' San Diego did plenty to help Snell, who still has only allowed two Yandy Díaz home runs in his return off the injured list. Saturday was hardly Snell at his best; he lacked some of the swing-and-miss stuff that has been his calling card, and a Padres team that strikes out less than any team in the National League was eager to put the ball in play. He got through six more scoreless frames regardless, including the three outs he was given on the bases. Advertisement Given how the last six weeks have gone for the Dodgers, as Clayton Kershaw quipped Friday night, perhaps they were due. The Padres had been dominant before arriving in Los Angeles, winning 23 of their last 35 games and becoming the first team to unseat the Dodgers from their top spot in the division this late into a season since 2021. That lasted a grand total of 48 hours, as the Dodgers will exit the first half of this stretch of six games in 10 days against the Padres with at least half of a hold on the NL West. Saturday came with another bonus: The Dodgers secured the season series against San Diego, and with it, a potential tiebreaker should this division remain tight for the remainder of the season. Dating back to a year ago, and including their win in the National League Division Series, the Dodgers have taken each of the last five series they've played against San Diego. 'Every game from here on out is gonna matter,' Smith said. 'So yeah, we want as big a lead as we can. We want to win the division. That's our first goal.'
