Brooklyn Nets vs. Indiana Pacers

The Brooklyn Nets take on the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday, November 1, 2026. It's a regular-season matchup that brings the Nets into town for a game on home court for the Pacers, so if you've been following the early stretch of the season, this is one of those dates that puts two Eastern Conference teams head-to-head in the middle of the calendar.

For anyone who hasn't spent much time at the arena, Gainbridge Fieldhouse is right downtown at 125 S. Pennsylvania St., so it's an easy trip if you're already in the city. The game tips off at 5 PM, which is a bit earlier than your typical NBA start time—more of a late-afternoon slot than a night game. If you're planning to get there early, the gates open around 4 PM, so you've got a full hour to find your seats and settle in before the first whistle.

Since it's a Sunday afternoon game, it works as a way to catch some basketball without it cutting into your whole night. You'll be in and out well before dinner, which is a nice change from the late-night games that keep you up half the night. If you're coming from across town, that 4 PM door time gives you plenty of room to beat the rush and still have time to grab a drink or a snack before tip-off.

So, the Brooklyn Nets face the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Tip-off is at 5 PM, and the gates open around 4 PM.
