Sell Your TicketsThe Cleveland Cavaliers enter the 2026-27 season trying to close the gap between a conference finals sweep and the National Basketball Association Finals. After falling in four games to the New York Knicks in May, president of basketball operations Koby Altman doubled down on the core under head coach Kenny Atkinson, locking up his backcourt for the long haul while remaking the wing rotation.
Donovan Mitchell is the anchor of that Cavaliers commitment after signing a four-year, $273 million contract extension on the first day of offseason eligibility rather than waiting a year for a larger payout. He shares the backcourt with James Harden, who arrived at the prior trade deadline in the Darius Garland deal and agreed to a three-year, $97 million extension over the summer to keep running the pick-and-roll with big men Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. As Cleveland.com beat reporter Chris Fedor has noted in his season preview coverage, Cleveland's ceiling still hinges on Mobley's offensive development alongside Allen and whether the reworked starting five can hold up defensively.
Ten years removed from the franchise's lone 2016 championship, the Cavaliers are celebrating that title anniversary across multiple nights at Rocket Arena while chasing a second banner. With 41 regular-season home games on the slate, the highest-demand nights at Rocket Arena come when the Knicks visit for a playoff rematch, when the Philadelphia 76ers bring LeBron James back to town after his summer free-agency flirtation with Cleveland, and when the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks visit for the 2016 reunion games.
The Cleveland Cavaliers reshaped their wing depth in the offseason by acquiring forward Peyton Watson from the Denver Nuggets in a multi-team trade that sent starter Max Strus to the Los Angeles Clippers. Cleveland signed Watson to a four-year, $88 million deal to give the starting lineup a 6-foot-8 perimeter defender and floor spacer alongside Donovan Mitchell and James Harden. The front office also brought back former fifth-overall pick Mario Hezonja on a one-year contract after his four-year run with Real Madrid, while exercising the fourth-year rookie option on guard Jaylon Tyson to anchor the second unit.
In the front office, the Cavaliers promoted Brandon Weems to general manager alongside Koby Altman as the franchise manages a payroll above the luxury tax. On the floor, reserve forward Nae'Qwan Tomlin has been sidelined with a lower back injury, leaving veteran center Thomas Bryant and Hezonja to absorb the backup frontcourt minutes behind Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.
Sideline sections in the 100-level lower bowl near midcourt offer the clearest sightlines for a Cleveland Cavaliers game at Rocket Arena, keeping both baskets in balanced view. Fans looking to sit near the team should target Section 127 directly behind the Cavaliers bench. For a lower get-in price without sacrificing the full-court view, the first few rows of the 200-level Loudville upper deck over midcourt in Sections 208 and 209 contain only 12 rows and sit directly above the suite level.
The 2026-27 Cleveland Cavaliers schedule features three dedicated 10th-anniversary celebrations of the franchise's 2016 NBA title at Rocket Arena. Those commemorative nights take place when the Cavaliers host the New York Knicks, when Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks visit, and when the Golden State Warriors come to Cleveland for a game that includes a Matthew Dellavedova bobblehead giveaway. Other marquee home matchups include NBA Cup group play against the Philadelphia 76ers and Indiana Pacers, plus visits from the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks.
Fans attending a Cavaliers game at Rocket Arena can avoid downtown Cleveland winter weather by riding the RTA Rapid transit rail line directly into Tower City Center. From the station food court, a 1,050-foot enclosed skywalk known as the RTA Walkway leads straight into the arena lobby. The walkway opens three hours before tipoff and remains open after the final buzzer. Drivers who want indoor access can park in the Gateway East Garage, which connects to the building via a climate-controlled bridge on the third level.
Prices for Cleveland Cavaliers tickets vary across the 41 regular-season home games based on the opponent, day of the week, and seat location. Weekend dates and marquee visits from the New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Golden State Warriors, and Boston Celtics carry the highest demand and should be purchased in advance. Buyers looking for cheaper NBA tickets can target weeknight games against non-rival opponents or shop the 200-level Loudville sections, where secondary-market prices often soften closer to tipoff.
Rocket Arena prohibits backpacks of any size and restricts all purses, totes, and diaper bags to a maximum of 14 by 14 by 6 inches so they can fit underneath a seat. Any bag larger than 6 by 9 by 1 inches must pass through a designated X-ray screening lane at security. For Monday through Thursday Cavaliers games, general doors open 75 minutes before tipoff, while Friday through Sunday doors open 90 minutes prior. The venue is completely cashless and enforces a strict no re-entry policy.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have retired seven player numbers in the Rocket Arena rafters along with league-wide honoree Bill Russell's No. 6: Bobby Smith (7), Zydrunas Ilgauskas (11), Larry Nance (22), Mark Price (25), Austin Carr (34), Nate Thurmond (42), and Brad Daugherty (43). Those jerseys hang alongside a microphone banner for Hall of Fame radio broadcaster Joe Tait, a bow tie banner for Nick Gilbert, the 2016 NBA championship banner, five Eastern Conference title banners, and eight Central Division banners.
