The New Orleans Pelicans are thrilled to unveil the television and radio broadcast schedule for the upcoming 2023-24 NBA season.
They will kick off their regular season on Wednesday, October 25, against the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedEx Forum. The local television schedule for the 2023-24 season includes 39 thrilling home games and 39 exciting away games.
