The 2025-26 NBA regular schedule has been released and there is potential for more than 180 games where it will be an Aussie in the NBA vs an Aussie in the NBA.

Reigning NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder face the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers get the Golden State Warriors — and potentially Taran Armstrong and Alex Toohey — on October 22, 2025 (AEST).

Below is a list of all the potential match-ups between Australians during the 2025-26 season. There is an assumption either Patty Mills or Ben Simmons will remain with the Clippers while 2025 NBA Draft pick Rocco Zikarsky will make the Minnesota Timberwolves roster. We'll keep this list updated as we learn more.

Australian Boomers fans won't have long to wait to see the first match-up between mates Dyson Daniels and Josh Giddey*, provided he re-signs with the Bulls.

Daniels' Hawks go on the road to the Bulls in Chicago on Tuesday, October 28, 11am (AEST).

All times for all games listed below are in AEST. This is how to watch every NBA game in Australia.
