A first-of-its-kind NBA game will take place on Thursday, and it will be halfway across the world. The league will head to Berlin, Germany for the first regular-season game in the country in history. The 2026 Berlin Game will pit the Orlando Magic versus the Memphis Grizzlies as the National Basketball Association expands its international footprint in the latest installment of the NBA Global Games.
Uber Arena in Friedrichshain, Berlin will host the contest, which will take place at 8 p.m. local time. Uber Arena normally hosts pro sports teams from both Germany’s top basketball league and top hockey league, and it also hosted the first NHL regular season game in the country back in 2011. Both the Magic and the Grizzlies will have plenty of time to get acquainted with both the venue and the country, as a whole, as each team last played on Sunday before making the transatlantic flight.
