Chicago Bulls: dates and venues for remaining preseason games

The Chicago Bulls have three preseason games left in 2026: road dates against the Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks, followed by a home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They are scheduled for October 11, 14 and 16, all in the evening. The schedule reviewed does not identify a broadcaster for these matchups, so viewers should check the official NBA page again close to game time.

The Bulls’ remaining schedule

According to the team’s official NBA schedule, the sequence is:

• Sunday, October 11: Chicago Bulls @ Denver Nuggets at 9 p.m. ET, at Ball Arena in Denver.
• Wednesday, October 14: Chicago Bulls @ Milwaukee Bucks at 8 p.m. ET, at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
• Friday, October 16: Minnesota Timberwolves @ Chicago Bulls at 8 p.m. ET, at the United Center in Chicago.

These start times use Eastern Time, exactly as displayed by the NBA. Because sports schedules can change, confirm the date and tipoff time on the official page before watching.

Two road games and a Chicago finale

The venue order matters when planning how to follow the team. Chicago is the visiting side against Denver and Milwaukee: the “@” symbol on the schedule places those games at Ball Arena and Fiserv Forum. The final preseason date is at home against Minnesota at the United Center.

This also prevents a misleading reading of “Bulls vs. opponent.” Denver and Milwaukee are the home teams in the first two matchups. Chicago is at home only for the October 16 game.

Where to watch: what is confirmed

The team page includes a “Watch On” column, but the extracted material does not name a broadcaster or platform for any of the three games. The NBA’s general October schedule includes filters for national broadcasters and League Pass, but the reviewed material does not provide a specific listing for these matchups.

A channel, streaming service or availability in any particular country therefore cannot be confirmed here. Rights differ by territory. The safest option is to revisit the NBA schedule shortly before tipoff and check the listing for your region; an option offered in the United States should not be assumed to apply in Brazil, Spain or France.

How the preseason began

Chicago opened its preseason with a victory over the Phoenix Suns. The NBA’s official recap, published on October 8, records a 124–117 score and says the Bulls improved to 1–0 after that game.

In the schedule captured on October 9, the next game against Memphis at the United Center was still marked “LIVE.” It therefore cannot support a final-score claim. The schedule above covers only the three later games that already have listed dates.

Following the games across time zones

Use ET as the primary reference because that is the time zone explicitly displayed on the reviewed page. If you live elsewhere, convert the time only after checking the official listing again, especially because programming adjustments can occur.

The venue is another useful identifier: Ball Arena on October 11, Fiserv Forum on October 14 and the United Center on October 16. Matching the date, arena and opponent can help distinguish the correct event if several games appear on a viewing platform.

After the preseason

The same schedule lists Chicago’s regular-season opener for October 21, on the road against the Toronto Raptors at 7:30 p.m. ET at Scotiabank Arena. That is separate from the three warm-up games and begins the first week of the regular season.

Dates, start times and viewing options remain subject to change. Check the official NBA schedule before each game.
