# Chicago Bulls Schedule Release Date Confirmed
The Chicago Bulls schedule release date has been confirmed, with the NBA schedule set to be released this Thursday. The expectation is that the Bulls will begin their season on October 22, 2026, as typically every team suits up over a two-day span at the beginning of a new year.
What's Next for the Bulls?
The Bulls have been linked with several players in the 2026 NBA draft, including Caleb Wilson. With the team expected to begin their season on October 22, it's likely that Wilson will make his debut on opening night. The Bulls have a tough schedule ahead of them, with several games against top teams in the league.
Recent Form
The Bulls are coming off a recent loss to the Dallas Mavericks, 149-128, on April 13, 2026. They have lost their last four games, with a record of 1-4 in their last five matches. The team will need to regroup and refocus if they want to make a push for the playoffs.
Bulls Schedule Release Date & More
In all seriousness, long-time NBA reporter Marc Stein did share earlier this week that the full NBA schedule will be released this Thursday. The expectation should be that the Bulls begin their season on October 22, as typically every team suits up over a two-day span at the beginning of a new year. As for who the matchup will be against, we can probably assume it will not be either the Pistons or Thunder. Why is that notable? They have opened their season against one of the two in two of the last three seasons.
One has to wonder if they could look to immediately pit newcomer Caleb Wilson against one of his fellow 2026 lottery picks. There is no question this would get some extra eyeballs on opening night for the rebuilding Bulls. Speaking of which, don't be surprised if Wilson's presence also earns the Bulls more nationally televised games than last season. They came into last year with only three games originally scheduled in front of a national audience.
