Updated October 24, from Hoopster's live schedule; this table refreshes every 30 minutes. Games can move for national TV, so check on the day. Every team's full season is on the schedule page.
The rule
NBA times are usually listed in US Eastern time (ET). India doesn't change its clocks, but the US does, so the gap moves twice a season:
| Dates | India time is |
|---|---|
| Until October 31, 2026 | 9 hours 30 minutes ahead of ET |
| November 1, 2026 to March 13, 2027 | 10 hours 30 minutes ahead of ET |
| From March 14, 2027 | 9 hours 30 minutes ahead of ET |
Games are almost always the next morning in India: a Tuesday night game in New York is a Wednesday morning game in Mumbai or Delhi.
Common tip-off times
| Eastern time | India time, until Oct 31 | India time, Nov 1 to Mar 13 |
|---|---|---|
| 7:00 PM ET | 4:30 AM | 5:30 AM |
| 7:30 PM ET | 5:00 AM | 6:00 AM |
| 8:00 PM ET | 5:30 AM | 6:30 AM |
| 9:30 PM ET | 7:00 AM | 8:00 AM |
| 10:00 PM ET | 7:30 AM | 8:30 AM |
| 10:30 PM ET | 8:00 AM | 9:00 AM |
West Coast home games (Lakers, Warriors, Clippers and others) usually tip off at 10:00 or 10:30 PM ET, which is breakfast time in India. Weekend afternoon games in the US land in the late evening or night in India.
See every game in your own time
Hoopster shows every tip-off in your iPhone's own time zone, so in India the schedule, the Next Game countdown and reminders are already in IST, with nothing to convert. The Live Activity puts the live score on your Lock Screen, so you can follow an early-morning game without opening an app.
