While Milwaukee is still thinking about baseball and burgers, the Milwaukee Bucks are already gearing up for the 2025-26 season. On Thursday, we found out what teams are coming to Fiserv Forum, with the help of self-proclaimed “Chuggernaut” Jalen Franko.

The team’s schedule release features Franko chugging, well, of course, a beer or two, and several other drinks to represent teams like the Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics, and an Old Fashioned in place of a Manhattan for the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets. We also get a milk chug for the Indiana Pacers (because that’s Wisconsin territory) and wine for the California teams (Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers.) 

All of those drinks, however, represent just some of the full-season slate, and some high profile matchups that will bring the likes of LeBron James, Steph Curry, and the stacked Knicks and Celtics rosters to Milwaukee. 
The season tips off with a home game against the Wizards on Wednesday, October 22nd. The schedule also includes five Sunday matinees, and 13 nationally televised games across Amazon Prime, ABC, NBC, and ESPN. FanDuel Network Wisconsin will carry the majority of this year’s regular season games once again.

The preseason tips off on October 6th in Miami, with home games on October 9th vs. the Detroit Pistons and 14th vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder. The October 14th game will stream on Peacock.

In case you’ve forgotten, the Bucks are also the reigning NBA Cup champions, and will defend their title beginning on November 7th when they take on the Chicago Bulls. The Bucks are in Group C of the in-season tournament, alongside the Bulls, Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, and New York Knicks. 

Regular season tickets go on sale beginning Friday, August 15th via Bucks.com. You can also purchase season tickets, half-season packages, and one of four themed partial-season 10 game packs. 

You can view the full schedule in detail on the Bucks website. Before you know it, it’ll be time to Fear The Deer once again. Let’s go Bucks!
