How many regular-season games does each NBA team play?
Answer
82 games
The 82-game schedule has been in place since the 1967-68 season. Teams have fallen short of 82 only in disrupted years: the lockout seasons of 1998-99 (50 games) and 2011-12 (66 games), plus the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons.
