Founded in 1947 as the Minneapolis Lakers, the Lakers – who relocated to Los Angeles in 1960 – are one of a small handful of NBA teams to have achieved global recognition. The Lakers are known for their eye-catching purple and gold kits, and their incredible success on the court. With 17 NBA championships, they share the joint record for most titles with the Boston Celtics, although the Lakers have also won 19 conference titles compared with the Celtics’ 10.
They’ve consistently boasted some iconic players within their ranks over the years, from Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, and more recently LeBron James.
As they gear up for the 2023-24 campaign, let’s look ahead to the complete Lakers’ game schedule.

Key Highlights of the Los Angeles Lakers Season
Key Los Angeles Lakers Season Matchups
With their decades of success and countless exploits in the NBA Playoffs, the Lakers have rivals in virtually every team in the league. With no franchise is this more keenly felt than the Boston Celtics, the only other outfit who can rival them as the most successful in the NBA. The pair share 34 of the 77 NBA championships that have been held thus far, and unsurprisingly they’ve met in the Playoffs on no fewer than a record 12 occasions, with the Celtics leading their postseason head-to-head record 9-3. Their first meeting with the Celtics this season will be extra special, because it will come on Christmas day.
The Lakers also share a unique rivalry with the Los Angeles Clippers, as they not only share a city – like the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets – but also a home venue in the Crypto.com Arena. Fans won’t have to wait too long for their first meeting this season, as they’ll face off on 1 November.
Koobit has the complete Lakers game dates, match times, and schedule, so you can always find when the Lakers play next.
Home Games vs. Away Games: Where and When Do the LA Lakers Play Again?
The Los Angeles Lakers' home game venue is the Crypto.com Arena, which was known until recently as the Staples Center. Although like all NBA teams they’ll officially have 41 home and away games apiece for a total of 82 over the course of the regular season, they’ll actually play slightly more often at the Crypto.com Arena because their “road” games with the Los Angeles Clippers will remain at the same venue.
You can find the Lakers’ next away game at Koobit.
Playoff Aspirations: Can the Los Angeles Lakers Make the Grade?
Despite LeBron James’ arrival in Los Angeles in 2018, the Lakers have not been guaranteed Playoff qualifiers in the years since, missing out in both his first season with the team and in 2022. However, despite losing 10 of their first 12 games last season, the Lakers were able to rally and qualify via the NBA Play-In Tournament. They progressed all the way to the Western Conference final, before being beaten 4-0 by the eventual champions the Denver Nuggets.
With smart additions in the offseason like Gabe Vincent and Jaxson Hayes, the Lakers will be hoping for a more assured entrance into the Playoffs this time around. If they do qualify, you can find the Lakers’ Playoff schedule here at Koobit.
