Rochester, NY, September 27, 2026 —
NBA Media Day is scheduled to take place on Monday across most league cities. This event traditionally signals the official commencement of the National Basketball Association’s training camp period for teams preparing for the upcoming season.
Media Day is a crucial event where players, coaches, and team personnel are made available to members of the press. During these sessions, athletes and staff typically participate in interviews, photo shoots, and promotional activities. It serves as the first official gathering point for teams after the offseason, allowing media outlets to capture early content, gather insights, and set the stage for the season ahead.
Following Media Day on Monday, teams are slated to begin their official training camp practices on Tuesday. These practices mark the beginning of on-court preparations, where teams work on conditioning, strategy, and team chemistry before the regular season begins.
The timing of Media Day and the subsequent start of training camps are key markers in the NBA calendar, leading up to exhibition games and the eventual opening of the regular season. Further details regarding specific team schedules and media availability beyond the general announcement were not provided in the summary.
