The entire regular season slate for the 2026-27 Milwaukee Bucks has been released. While they have just two nationally televised games, showing how little the NBA believes in them, there are still plenty of interesting matchups on the schedule. Let's break down three that will have no shortage of chatter surrounding them leading up to the outing.
10/24/26 @ Philadelphia
Everyone wants to know when they will get their first crack at LeBron James and the new-look 76ers, and the Milwaukee Bucks won't have to wait long. After starting the season against Washington and Chicago, the Bucks will head to Philadelphia to face the 76ers in just their third game of the season.
This will be a great test for the Bucks. With LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey, and an assortment of depth pieces, the 76ers look like they will be one of the league's top teams this coming season. If the Bucks could get an early win, perhaps they could send a message.
11/18/26 @ Miami
There are so many storylines already loaded up. It's the first game in which Giannis Antetokounmpo will play the Milwaukee Bucks. Former teammates Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro will come to blows after their summer scuffle. Really, it's two rivals going head-to-head. Things are just more tense now.
Everyone involved in this outing will be fired up, but it will be particularly interesting to see how Herro plays in his return to Miami. In addition to simply returning to the place where he has spent his entire career before this summer, it feels like he will look to send a message to Adebayo.
1/28/27 vs. Miami
Bring your tissues. After months of anticipation, Giannis will make his highly anticipated return to the place he is synonymous with: Milwaukee. Without question, there will be tears in the arena where the Greek Freak's jersey will hang in due time, especially when that tribute video plays.
Of course, that's all just the appetizer; there will still be a game to play, and it should be a good one for all of the reasons already mentioned. Giannis is playing his former team, Herro and Adebayo will face off once again, and these two teams have simply been rivals for years. What more could you want?
Start planning; the NBA is finally right around the corner once again.
