The LA Clippers visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, October 23, 2026, at 10:00 p.m. ET (7:00 p.m. PT) at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The NBA game page identifies League Pass in its broadcast field and links to game-specific tickets. It does not list a confirmed U.S. national TV channel for this matchup, and League Pass access can be restricted by local and national blackouts. Check the official game page near tip-off before choosing a viewing option.

Where to check tickets
The Lakers’ official game page shows a Buy Tickets link for this exact game. That link is the safest starting point for official availability and current prices; the existence of a link does not establish a particular on-sale date, open seat inventory or a guaranteed ticket price. Verify those details at checkout on the team-linked ticketing service.
U.S. viewing: League Pass is not a blanket promise
The NBA matchup page lists League Pass under broadcast but does not identify a specific national U.S. TV network. Fans in the teams’ local markets, or where a national telecast later applies, may face blackout restrictions. The NBA’s 2026-27 viewing guide explains how to check national, local and League Pass availability. Neither source promises a free stream; the available option may differ outside the United States.
Matchup context without guessing the lineups
These Los Angeles teams met several times in 2025-26. The NBA’s game page lists a close February 20 meeting and a Clippers win on January 22 among its recent matchups. Those past results frame the city rivalry, but say nothing certain about October 23 lineups or the result. Check the NBA game page for final player availability, game-time changes and confirmed viewing details.
The October 23 NBA schedule hub covers the rest of the day’s games. This page answers the Clippers–Lakers matchup specifically.
