The Dallas Mavericks’ schedule for the 2024-25 regular season is no longer a mystery.

After a slow trickle of marquee games over the last several days, the NBA officially revealed the full regular season schedule Thursday afternoon.

The Mavericks, the defending Western Conference champions, will begin the season Oct. 24 when Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs visit American Airlines Center, a reversal of last year’s season opener in San Antonio.

It’ll be a Texas Showdown between two revamped teams in the Southwest Division. It marks the debut of the newly formed trio of Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson, while Wembanyama will have a new co-star in veteran guard Chris Paul.

The Mavericks will take their new Big 3 on the road for the first time on Oct. 26 against the Phoenix Suns and another Big 3: Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.

The Mavericks finished 50-32 last season, fifth in the Western Conference, before they went on an improbable, electric run to the NBA Finals. They’ll have two rematches with the Boston Celtics, who captured the Larry O’Brien trophy in five games, on Jan. 25 in Dallas and Feb. 6 in Boston.

Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison told The Dallas Morning News in July that he’s looking forward to seeing how the team responds to last season’s success. Any team that’s fresh off a Finals run will likely receive every team’s best shot.

“You’re no longer hunting people,” Harrison said. “They’re going to be hunting. So how do you respond? Do we finish games off? Does everybody come in shape, ready to go? That’s the type of stuff I’m excited to see.”

Seven of the Mavericks’ first nine games are at home, which includes a five-game homestand – the first of two during the season. That serves as a calm before the storm because Dallas will embark on a brutal stretch of 11 of 15 games on the road throughout the majority of November. The Mavericks will also end the season playing 12 of their final 20 games on the road.

Here are a few takeaways from the Mavericks’ schedule, followed by the complete list of games, times and TV info.

National TV appearances

Dallas is scheduled to play on national television 30 times, including nine on TNT, nine on ESPN, seven on NBA TV and five on ABC.

Locally, the Mavericks are waiting to see what happens with Bally Sports Southwest, whose parent company, Diamond Sports Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Minority shareholder Mark Cuban said at an event last week, according to WFAA-TV, that if Bally doesn’t renew its contract with the Mavericks, which appears likely, the franchise will do what it can to maximize distribution.

One option could be partnering with the Stars, who ended their rights agreement with Bally and will launch a direct-to-consumer streaming app, Victory+, that will allow in-market fans to watch games for free this season.

Back-to-backs

The Mavericks are scheduled for 13 back-to-backs:

• Five are home-to-road.
• Four begin and end on the road.
• Two begin and end at home.
• One is road-to-home.
• Four don’t require any travel.

On the road

Dallas’ longest road trip is five games, from Jan. 29 to Feb. 6, against New Orleans, Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Boston.

The Mavericks also have two four-game trips.

Home cooking

The Mavericks’ longest homestands are two five-game stints from Oct. 31 to Nov. 8 and Feb. 8 to Feb. 21.
