Every blockbuster Boomers match-up in 2026-27

Source: the NBA’s 2026-27 schedule, released 5:00am AEST Friday 14 August 2026. Every time is worked out from the game’s own moment in time rather than copied off a printed clock, which is why each row is labelled: Australian daylight saving ends on Sunday 4 April 2027, inside the season, so a tip-off at the same instant reads 10:00am on Saturday 3 April and 9:00am on Sunday 4 April. United States daylight saving begins three weeks earlier, on 14 March, moving the American clock the other way. The two games each club is missing are the Cup knockout rounds, which cannot be scheduled until the group stage resolves.
The twelve Australians on NBA rosters as at 15 October 2026 are Dyson Daniels and Jock Landale (Atlanta), Josh Giddey (Chicago), Tyrese Proctor (Cleveland), Kyrie Irving (Dallas), Alex Toohey (Golden State), Johnny Furphy (Indiana), Matisse Thybulle (LA Lakers), Rocco Zikarsky (Minnesota), Duop Reath (Phoenix), Ben Simmons (Sacramento) and Josh Green (Utah). Irving is included as an editorial call rather than a factual one: he was born in Melbourne and represents the United States. Several are not certainties. Ben Simmons is on a one-year deal that stays non-guaranteed unless he makes Sacramento’s opening-night roster; Alex Toohey is in camp on an Exhibit 10, a training-camp contract rather than a roster spot; Phoenix already had 15 players on standard contracts when Duop Reath signed, so someone has to go for him to make the opening-night roster; Rocco Zikarsky is on a two-way contract and is not guaranteed to be with the NBA club on any given date; Matisse Thybulle signed as a 16th man against a 15-man limit; and Johnny Furphy is returning from a torn ACL, with the Pacers expecting him back around the middle of the season. This is a fixture list of their clubs, which is not a promise that any of them takes the floor. This table is the subset of the season where two Australian-carrying clubs meet, so at least two Australians are named on the teamsheets. Atlanta is the only club carrying two Australians, so 26 of these fixtures put three or more in the one game. Being on a roster is not the same as playing: this is a fixture list, not a lineup. Every column sorts and the default order is chronological.
