If you’re someone who likes to arrange things in advance, the Utah Jazz’s preseason schedule might play into your early October plans.

The Utah Jazz announced their 2025-26 preseason schedule, and for the first time in a few years, there are no abnormalities. The Jazz aren’t headed to Hawaii or any other glamorous destination for training camp, they won’t be in Seattle during the preseason, and the New Zealand Breakers won’t be making a pit stop in Salt Lake City.

This time around, things are pretty straightforward, though there are some big names that could feature during the Jazz’s run of preseason games.

The Jazz will start the preseason on the road with a game in Houston on Oct. 8 and a game in San Antonio on Oct. 10. The Jazz then return home to host the Dallas Mavericks on Oct. 13. The preseason slate wraps up at the Delta Center against the Portland Trail Blazers on Oct. 16.

The Rockets were part of one of the summer’s blockbuster deals when they acquired Kevin Durant, and the preseason opener against the Jazz could be the first time we get a glimpse at what Durant looks like with the Rockets, though, there’s always a chance that Durant doesn’t play.

Victor Wembanyama and the No. 2 pick in the 2025 draft, Dylan Harper, will headline the Jazz’s final road game of the preseason.

The first home game of the preseason will obviously have some hype because the Dallas Mavericks’ roster features No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg, the player the Jazz and every other team coveted before being thwarted by lottery luck.

Finally, the Jazz will face the Trail Blazers in the preseason finale, which has the potential to be an actual measuring stick for the Jazz against a young team with a couple of higher-profile veteran players. But, by the final game of the preseason, teams usually sit their best players and give more opportunity to the deep bench.

Ticketing and broadcast information for the preseason games have not been announced and are expected at a later date.
