The National Basketball Association (NBA) has officially revealed its Christmas Day lineup for the 2025–26 season, sparking excitement and debate across the basketball world. Ten teams will battle it out on December 25, including the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, and Minnesota Timberwolves.
With top-tier squads and elite stars like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and rising talents featured, the league is aiming to create a high-energy holiday showcase following the 2025 NBA Finals.
After a long offseason, fans are thrilled to see their favorite players back in action—and the Christmas Day lineup is shaping up to be a major highlight of the new season.
While fans flooded social media with excitement—especially for players like Curry and rookie sensation Cooper Flagg—many also voiced frustration. Notably, only two Eastern Conference teams (the Knicks and Cavaliers) made the schedule, both slotted in the earliest game. Fans questioned the absence of strong contenders like the Indiana Pacers and Philadelphia 76ers. “Four Western Conference games and one Eastern? This makes no sense,” one user wrote. Another criticized the missed opportunity: “Have Houston going to LA but not Dallas? Obvious matchup ignored.”
The marquee matchup of Christmas Day features a legendary duel between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors. NBA icons LeBron James and Stephen Curry will reignite their storied rivalry in primetime, creating massive buzz. It’s widely considered the day’s headline event and could be the most anticipated regular-season game of the year.
For fans, NBA games on December 25 have become a cherished tradition. It’s not just about wins and losses, it’s about pride, memories, and watching legends and rising stars light up the court on one of the sport’s biggest stages.
