Magic face ULTIMATE test | Can Orlando's Young Core DOMINATE Prime Time?

The Orlando Magic's 2026 schedule is here!

The team indeed got a healthy bump in national TV appearances as the Magic make their push to try to win a title in 2026 and beyond. Is the schedule set up for the Magic to succeed?

They will get the chance to show it in the first 20 games as they face some tough teams and face their longest road trip of the season at the beginning of the year. If Orlando can navigate the beginning of the season, they should be set up to accomplish their goals.

Their trip to Europe in January also does not have a crazy effect on their season. They play one of the fewest back-to-backs in the league with several advantageous home-home back-to-backs. But a tough March could endanger their progress ahead of the Playoffs.
