Memphis Grizzlies–Portland Trail Blazers: tip-off
| Date | Thursday, October 29, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Away at home | Memphis Grizzlies at Portland Trail Blazers |
| U.S. start times | 10 p.m. ET / 9 p.m. CT / 7 p.m. PT |
| Home local time | 7 p.m. Pacific in Portland |
All three start times fall on Thursday. Portland is two hours behind Memphis on this date, so a 7 p.m. reminder intended for the home arena would be too early for someone watching on a Memphis clock. East Coast viewers should use the late, 10 p.m. tip-off.

U.S. viewing options
The NBA date page includes League Pass for Grizzlies–Trail Blazers. Check whether your location is in a local blackout area before paying for access. A viewer in a team’s local territory may need that market’s television or streaming service instead of the out-of-market feed.
The NBA blackout guide explains local and national live-viewing restrictions. Check availability using your location before buying a package.
Live video and radio are different choices
The NBA also lists radio coverage beside this matchup. Radio is useful for following the game away from a screen, but it is not a live-video subscription. Choose the video watch option if you want pictures, and check the package and location requirements before tip-off. The official game page is the starting point for either option.
