A new season of professional basketball has returned.
The KBL confirmed and announced the regular-season schedule for the 2026–2027 season, which will run from October 3 to April 11, 2027.
This season's regular league will consist of 54 games per team, totaling 270 matches. The standard format is one game on weekdays and three games on weekends, amounting to 11 games per week.
The official opener for the 2026–2027 season will take place at 2 p.m. on October 3 at Busan Sajik Gymnasium, featuring a matchup between Busan KCC and Changwon LG.
KCC won the championship finals in the 2025–2026 season. As the regular-season champion of that same season, they will face off against LG, the two-time defending champion, in a battle of pride.
On the same day at 2 p.m., Goyang Sono will host its home opener against Daegu Korea Gas Corporation at Goyang Sono Arena. At 4:30 p.m., Anyang Jeongkwanjang will face Ulsan Hyundai Mobis at Anyang Jeongkwanjang Arena.
The regular-season schedule also accounts for each team's arena renovation and international competition commitments.
Due to the demolition of Seoul Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium, Seoul Samsung will jointly use the Jamsil Student Gymnasium with Seoul SK.
SK will not play any regular-season games for approximately two weeks due to its participation in the FIBA Basketball Champions League Asia (BCL Asia).
Changwon LG will not host any home games for the month of October due to facility improvement works at Changwon Indoor Gymnasium.
Meanwhile, the pre-regular-season exhibition event "OPEN MATCH DAY" will be held from September 24 to 27 over four days.
Each team will play two games total: one home game and one away game. However, LG, whose home arena is undergoing construction, will only play two away games.
