Every Chicago Bulls game of the 2026-27 NBA season is below in Australian time, from the opener in Toronto on Thursday, October 22, 2026 (AEDT) to the last regular-season game in New Orleans on Monday, April 12, 2027 (AEST).
That is all 80 released games for Boomers guard Josh Giddey, 40 at United Center and 40 on the road. The NBA holds two games per club back for the NBA Cup knockout rounds, and they appear in the table once the group stage is decided.
To watch Giddey specifically, League Pass is not optional.
When the Bulls play in Australian time
Sixty-eight of Chicago's 80 games tip between 10am and 2pm on Australia's east coast: 39 between 10am and noon, and 29 between noon and 2pm.
Nine tip before 10am. The earliest is 6am AEST on Monday, April 5, 2027, away to the Houston Rockets, one day after Australian daylight saving ends.
Only three tip at 2pm or later, all on the road in the west: the Sacramento Kings at 2pm AEDT on Friday, January 8, the Los Angeles Lakers at 2pm AEDT on Wednesday, February 17, and the LA Clippers at 2:30pm AEDT on Thursday, February 18.
Chicago play 15 back-to-backs. Every time in the table carries its own zone label, because daylight saving moves twice during the season. United States daylight saving begins on March 14, 2027, and Australian daylight saving ends on April 4, 2027, so the last five Bulls games are in AEST.
How to watch
NBA League Pass carries every Bulls game live in Australia. Other services carry selected games. For what each option costs and which games it shows, see our guide to how to watch every Aussie in the 2026-27 NBA season, which lists every provider's prices.
With most tip-offs between 10am and 2pm, most fans will be watching late in the morning or over lunch, often on replay.
Aussie v Aussie
Twenty-four of Chicago's games are against a club with another Australian on its roster, based on NBA rosters at October 18, 2026:
- Four against Dyson Daniels and Jock Landale's Atlanta Hawks: Saturday, November 14 (home), Wednesday, December 30 (away), Friday, February 26 (home) and Thursday, March 4 (away).
- Four against Tyrese Proctor's Cleveland Cavaliers: Tuesday, November 17 (away), Tuesday, November 24 (home), Friday, December 4 (home) and Sunday, March 21 (away).
- Four against Johnny Furphy's Indiana Pacers: Sunday, November 29 (home), Tuesday, January 5 (away), Wednesday, January 27 (away) and Tuesday, March 30 (home).
- Two each against Kyrie Irving's Dallas Mavericks, Matisse Thybulle's Los Angeles Lakers, Rocco Zikarsky's Minnesota Timberwolves, Duop Reath's Phoenix Suns, Ben Simmons's Sacramento Kings and Josh Green's Utah Jazz.
The Aussie v Aussie filter on the schedule table picks out all 24. Whether both Australians play depends on fitness and selection on the day.
The triple-double chase
Giddey began 2026-27 on 31 career regular-season triple-doubles, 20 of them for Chicago and 11 for the Oklahoma City Thunder. That put him level with John Havlicek in equal 18th in NBA history, and two behind Ben Simmons, Bob Cousy and Draymond Green on 33.
Simmons' 33 are the most by an Australian. Giddey had 13 triple-doubles in 2025-26 alone, the most of any of his seasons, and passed Michael Jordan's 28 along the way.
The table below lists every one of them. For how Giddey goes in each game, the schedule table adds the box score after every game, and our daily Aussies in the NBA results cover every Australian's game in our Aussies in the NBA hub.
