Dates and venues
There is no NBA game in London in the 2026/27 season: the NBA's UK game is in Manchester, where the New Orleans Pelicans play the San Antonio Spurs at Co-op Live on Sunday 17 January 2027. The same two teams meet at the Accor Arena in Paris three days earlier.
The Manchester game is sold out at the official seller. Its free ballot and the Ticketmaster general sale are over, and only the NBA Experiences premium packages are still on sale.

The fixture is played twice in Europe: New Orleans Pelicans v San Antonio Spurs at the Accor Arena in Paris on Thursday 14 January 2027, then at Co-op Live in Manchester on Sunday 17 January 2027. The Manchester tip-off time is TBC.
Fans in London searching for a game in the capital will not find one this season. Co-op Live stands on the Etihad Campus in Manchester, next to Manchester City's stadium, and opened in 2024 as the UK's largest indoor arena.

How tickets are sold (official route) and resale
The Manchester tickets went through a staged official route, and most of it has closed:
- A free ticket ballot. Fans registered through NBA.com/Manchester, with Eastlands Arena Limited and Ticketmaster as joint organisers. Those drawn received a link or code by email and SMS, and needed a Ticketmaster account to buy.
- The general sale on Ticketmaster. The NBA now says general sale tickets are sold out, while adding that more tickets may be available in the future.
- NBA Experiences packages. Still on sale and sold separately, with no ballot entry needed: Playmaker, MVP, Legend and Hall of Fame. They are priced in US dollars, and the lowest-priced option listed is a Playmaker package in a Lower-Level Category 2 seat.
Co-op Live names Ticketmaster as its official ticketing partner, and Ticketmaster Ticket Exchange, at face value or less, is the only resale platform the venue endorses.
Away from those channels, seats listed on Hellotickets come from sellers who set their own prices, which can be above face value. Every ticket is authenticated, and the final price is shown before you pay.
Good to know
- Check the cityThe NBA's only UK game this season is at Co-op Live in Manchester, on the Etihad Campus next to Manchester City's stadium, not at a London arena.
- Paris comes firstThe Pelicans and the Spurs also meet at the Accor Arena in Paris on Thursday 14 January 2027, three days before the Manchester game.
- Use the Etihad Campus tram stopMetrolink's Etihad Campus stop is right next to Co-op Live. The Velopark and Holt Town stops close after events, so plan your return from Etihad Campus.
- Pack lightCo-op Live allows one bag per person no larger than A4, with a paid bag drop for anything bigger, and the arena is cashless: card, contactless, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Where to sit
Co-op Live has seats on several levels around its arena floor. Level 1 is the lower tier, with blocks numbered in the 100s; Level 2 is the premium level, with its own bars and dining; Level 3 is the upper tier, with blocks in the 300s; and Level 4 holds lounges for OVO and Sky customers.
Hellotickets lists seats for this game block by block. Blocks in the 300s, such as 307, 312, 314, 315 and 320, and the general "Upper Tier" area are all on Level 3, where every row has three steps and the handrails are not continuous. The NBA Experiences packages include lower-level seats.
