Cavs 2026-27 Season Preview | Cleveland Cavaliers News

LeBron’s back in the East — but not in Cleveland — as the Cavs gear up for a loaded 2026-27 season with key matchups, roster moves, and a return to MLK Day tradition. The season opens Oct 22 on the road vs. Philly, then hosts LeBron in his first game back as an opponent Nov 6. Cavs also dive into the NBA Cup with back-to-back clashes against Philly and Miami’s Giannis, plus home games vs. Pacers and Knicks. Off-court, ownership met with LeBron in July, while front office eyes Kuminga trade (Hawks also in play) and signs Mario Hezonja for offensive spark — all while chasing a playoff push without LeBron returning to Cleveland.
