ORLANDO, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 The Orlando Magic will be trotting the globe this season to face off against the Memphis Grizzlies in a pair of regular-season games held in Berlin and London, a news release stated.<\/p>\n

The NBA announced Wednesday that the teams will play in Berlin on Jan. 15, 2026, and in London on Jan. 18, 2026.<\/p>\n

The international contests are a part of the league\u2019s effort to grow globally, as the league also announced that it will play regular season games in Manchester and Paris in 2027 and in Berlin and Paris in 2028.<\/p>\n

The games mark the Magic\u2019s fourth and fifth games in Europe in its franchise\u2019s history, the release said. Orlando has never played in Berlin before and has played in London in 1993 and 2016.<\/p>\n

Officials said this will be the first regular-season game held in Berlin in NBA history and the 10th regular-season game in London.<\/p>\n

The trip to Germany\u2019s capital is a homecoming for the Magic\u2019s brother duo of Moritz and Franz Wagner. The Magic released a statement from the brothers, which expressed what the game means to them:<\/p>\n

\n

To have the Orlando Magic and the NBA play a regular-season game in our hometown of Berlin means everything to us,\u201d the statement read. \u201cGrowing up here, we dreamed of moments like this. It\u2019s a huge honor to represent Berlin and Germany and show how much the city and country love basketball. We hope we can inspire kids the way we were inspired watching games from afar.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

All of the games will air live across Europe and around the world, the release stated, with the league expecting fans in more than 200 countries to tune in on television, digital media and social media.<\/p>\n
