MEXICO CITY, April 16 (Reuters) – The National Basketball Association said on Thursday that the Mexico City Game 2026 will feature the Denver Nuggets against the Indiana Pacers in a regular-season matchup at the Arena CDMX on November 7.
The fixture will mark the league’s 35th game in Mexico since 1992 — more than in any other country outside the United States and Canada — and will take place during the week of the “Day of the Dead” celebrations for the third consecutive year.
The Nuggets, 2023 NBA champions playing their second game in Mexico, will feature three-time NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic, 2026 NBA All-Star Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon.
Meanwhile, the Pacers, the reigning Eastern Conference champions who will be making their debut in Mexico City, feature two-time NBA All-Star Tyrese Haliburton, 2019 champion and four-time All-Star Pascal Siakam, and 2025 Second Team All-Defensive selection Ivica Zubac.
