The ninth-annual event will feature a regular-season game between the Washington Wizards and the New York Knicks at The O2 on Thursday, Jan. 17.
It’ll mark the Knicks’ third game in the capital, having played regular-season games against the Detroit Pistons in 2013 and the Milwaukee Bucks in 2015, with The Wizard playing their first-ever game in the UK.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver said, “We’ve been playing regular-season match-ups in London for nearly a decade, and over that time the games and the surrounding festivities have grown into the equivalent of an NBA All-Star experience transported to Europe. Fans and partners from across the continent come to celebrate basketball and enjoy the excitement and experience of an NBA game.”
The NBA London Game 2019 will also feature a variety of interactive fan activities, NBA Cares community outreach initiatives and Jr. NBA basketball programming that will bring the NBA experience to fans in London.
All eight previous regular-season NBA games in London sold-out, so you’ll have to be quick to cop tickets, which will go on sale in Autumn. Fans can register their interest in tickets and gain access to pre-sale information and more by visiting www.NBA.com/London.
