Overview

The Brooklyn Nets confirmed a four-game preseason schedule on Monday, July 27, 2026, with matchups Oct. 6 at Charlotte, Oct. 8 vs. Philadelphia, Oct. 12 at Washington and Oct. 14 at Miami.
YES Network will broadcast every Nets preseason game, ensuring regional television coverage for the entire slate.
Brooklyn’s Oct. 8 home game at Barclays Center is highlighted as a likely first look at LeBron James and Jaylen Brown in Philadelphia uniforms, though star appearances are not guaranteed for preseason.
Guard Nolan Traoré, who sat out Summer League after a right-knee scope, is reported to be progressing and expected to be ready by the start of training camp.
The preseason offers an early chance to evaluate Brooklyn’s 2026 No. 6 pick Mikel Brown, and the single home preseason game continues the team’s recent pattern of limited local exhibition dates while national TV attention for the Sixers could push ticket demand and media interest.
