The target is officially on the New York Knicks.
The defending NBA champions' 2026-27 schedule has been released, and CP The Fanchise and Alex Trataros are breaking down everything Knicks fans need to know about the road to repeat.
It starts October 20 at Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks will raise their championship banner and receive their rings before facing LeBron James and the new-look Philadelphia 76ers.
But things don't get much easier from there.
The guys examine an Eastern Conference-heavy opening month, a grueling stretch of road games, 13 back-to-backs, the NBA Cup schedule and a six-game Western Conference trip featuring Denver and Golden State.
They also reveal their five most anticipated games, including Mitchell Robinson and Boston, the Oklahoma City Thunder showdown and a Christmas Day Finals rematch with Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.
Plus: Will Jalen Brunson be ready for opening night following surgery? Should the Knicks prioritize health over seeding? Does New York still need another center? Could Pacôme Dadiet or Miles McBride become trade pieces?
Finally, it's a KFTV schedule-release tradition: CP and Alex go game-by-game through the first 10 and predict the Knicks' record to start their championship defense.
82 games. The road to repeat starts now.
