With games starting in October, the 2023-24 schedule has been released for the Houston Rockets ahead of a grueling 82-game grind. Broadcast information for each matchup is available here.
Led by Ime Udoka as the new head coach and offseason veteran additions such as Fred VanVleet, Dillon Brooks, and Jeff Green, the rebuilding Rockets have hopes of taking a leap forward this season.
Even so, expectations should be kept in check. For a mostly young team that went 22-60 last season while finishing last in the Western Conference for three straight years, even making a push for the West’s 2023-24 play-in tournament would constitute major growth.
Thus, for many NBA fans in Houston, part of the incentive to take in games at Toyota Center and watch their local team on television involves watching title contenders from elsewhere across the league.
With that in mind, here’s an alphabetically sorted list of when each team faces the Rockets (home and away) this season. Two games from Dec. 4-9 will be added at a later date depending on results from the NBA’s new in-season tournament, which is played in November.
