The 2026-27 Season Preview
The Contenders
The West runs through Oklahoma City until someone takes it from them — a young core with championship DNA and the league’s best home crowd. Behind them: Denver’s machine keeps humming, the Lakers retool around their newest star, and the Warriors’ championship window gets one more autumn.
In the East, the Celtics remain the measuring stick, the Knicks are all-in on a title push, and the Cavs-Pacers rivalry keeps getting spicier. Add a rookie class with real star power and opening night can’t come soon enough.
How to Watch in Style
The Association jersey remains the NBA fan’s staple: wear it courtside, to the watch party, or open over a hoodie — the layering move that took over NBA fashion. City Edition colorways drop mid-season and sell through fast; the classics are always safe.
Media Day in late September is your cue: order the jersey before training camp storylines send prices and demand up.
