The NBA has no games scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2026, as the league observes Election Day in the United States. The annual tradition of keeping the court dark on Election Day aims to encourage fans, players, and staff to participate in the democratic process.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has previously emphasized the league's commitment to civic engagement. The 2026 schedule continues the practice of avoiding regular-season games on the first Tuesday of November.
Fans looking for basketball action will need to wait until Wednesday when the regular season resumes.
