NBA London Tickets

NBA London Tickets

Few sporting events in Europe generate the kind of excitement that an NBA London game produces. Since the league first brought regular-season basketball to the British capital in 2011, London has established itself as one of the NBA’s most beloved international destinations. The O2 Arena has rocked to the sound of NBA basketball on numerous occasions, and every single game has sold out, a testament to just how deep the love for the sport runs in the UK.

There is no NBA London game currently scheduled for the upcoming seasons, but that has done nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of British fans who are eagerly awaiting the league’s return. When an announcement does come, tickets will move extremely fast. If you want to be first in line, register your account on Fanatix.com now and follow our news posts so you are ready the moment tickets go on sale.

Will There Be an NBA London Game?

As things stand, the NBA has not announced a London game as part of its upcoming international schedule. The league’s current European focus for 2027 is on Paris (NBA Paris tickets) and Manchester (NBA Manchester tickets), with Paris and Berlin (NBA Berlin tickets) forming the European double-header in 2028. London is not part of those plans at this stage, but that does not mean the city has been forgotten.

London remains one of the NBA’s most important international markets, and the league has returned to the city consistently over the years. Given the scale of the fanbase, the quality of the venue, and the commercial appetite on both sides, it would be a surprise if London did not feature in the NBA’s global calendar again in the years ahead. Keep an eye on Fanatix.com for updates, and we will have tickets available the moment a game is confirmed. We also sell NBA tickets for the games in the USA.

The O2 Arena: London’s NBA Home

Every NBA London game in the regular-season era has taken place at the O2 Arena in Greenwich, and for good reason. With a capacity of around 20,000 for major events, world-class facilities, and a reputation as one of the best indoor venues anywhere in the world, the O2 is a natural home for the NBA in the UK. Getting there is straightforward too, with North Greenwich station on the Jubilee line sitting right outside the venue.

The O2 has played host to some genuinely historic NBA moments over the years, and its court has been graced by some of the greatest players the league has ever produced. When the NBA comes back to London, there is little doubt it will return to this iconic venue.

NBA London: A History of Sold-Out Games

London’s history with the NBA is longer and richer than any other city in the UK. The first NBA game in London took place in 2011, when the New Jersey Nets faced the Toronto Raptors at the O2 Arena, a landmark moment that announced London as a serious destination for the league. From that point on, the NBA returned to the city almost every year, bringing some of the sport’s biggest franchises and brightest stars to British shores.

Over the years, London has hosted games featuring the Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards, Miami Heat, and many more. Each game sold out, and each one added another layer to the story of basketball in the UK. The NBA London Games became a fixture in the sporting calendar, a highlight of the January slate that fans planned months in advance. That history is the foundation on which the next London game, whenever it comes, will be built.
