The 2025-2026 NBA basketball season will kick off in the early morning of October 22 (Vietnam time). In addition to the maintained professional factor, this year's tournament promises to have many more surprising developments when many big teams have made strong changes to their squads.
Veterans such as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Nikola jokic, Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum are still the focus of the tournament, while the young generation of players continue to show maturity. The competition schedule this season has also been adjusted more appropriately to reduce travel loads and improve the quality of matches.
In the first week of competition (October 22-29), the audience will witness a series of exciting matches.

The focus is on the confrontation between Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers. The match promises to bring explosive emotions when the two legends Stephen Curry and LeBron James once again face off.
The Warriors, although still holding the framework with Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, are showing signs of weakness in physical strength. In contrast, the Lakers have a team that is even with the return of Anthony Davis, along with the progress of young talents such as Rui Hachimura or Gabe Vincent.
In addition, the confrontation between Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder is also very notable. These are two teams that are in the process of rebuilding with many potential young players.
The Rockets still have faith in Alperen Şengün, Jalen Green and Amen Thompson, but have not yet achieved the necessary stability. Meanwhile, Thunder with the head of the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is emerging as one of the most interesting teams in the West thanks to its fast and cohesive playing style.
All matches of the 2025-2026 season will be broadcast live, exclusively on FPT Play. Basketball fans in Vietnam can easily watch through the website fptplay.vn or the FPT Play application on any smart device.
