The San Antonio Spurs are projected to have a significant increase in national television games for their upcoming 2026-27 NBA season. Following a historic playoff run, the team is expected to be among the most frequently televised, potentially reaching the maximum of 34 appearances. This heightened exposure underscores Victor Wembanyama's impact on the league.
The Spurs are also likely to play on Christmas Day at home, marking a return to the holiday slate after a drought. While they have traveled for past holiday games, a home matchup is anticipated, with potential opponents including the Philadelphia 76ers or the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Further expanding their reach, the Spurs have international commitments, including games against the New Orleans Pelicans in Paris and Manchester in January 2027. Domestically, they will continue their I-35 Series in Austin, reinforcing their brand across Texas. These ventures highlight the team's ambition for a sixth championship.
