The National Basketball Association has officially released the full 2024-2025 regular season schedule detailing when and where the 32 teams, including the Orlando Magic, will face off—beginning the season on Wednesday, October 23 on the road against rivals, the Miami Heat, as reported by WFTV. Kia Center in Orlando is set to see its home team, the Magic, in action against the Brooklyn Nets for their home opener which is penciled in for Friday, October 25.
Bright-eyed fans eager to catch single-game action can mark their calendars for Friday, August 16 at 1 p.m., which is when tickets go on the market—these will be up for grabs online, providing an opportunity for supporters to secure their seats, according to WFTV. Orlando's schedule features a suite of games that includes 19 weekend home games, 13 back-to-back bouts, and two significant home stretches in late December and late February into early March, as detailed by FOX 35 Orlando.
The Magic boast a respectable track from last season closing with a 47-35 record, though they exited early after a series loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs, and this season sees them featured in five nationally televised games—three on TNT and two on ESPN—details of which will be announced at a later date, per FOX 35 Orlando. Another highlight of the upcoming season is the team's inclusion in the prestigious Emirates NBA Cup 2024, tipping off with Group Play in November, and culminating with the championship starting on December 17 in Las Vegas.
