The New Orleans Pelicans will play a four-game preseason schedule as a tuneup for the 2023-24 season.
On Monday, the Pelicans announced their full preseason schedule. They will face the Orlando Magic on Oct. 10 in their only preseason game at the Smoothie King Center. Then, they will take on the Houston Rockets on Oct. 12 inside Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.
The Pelicans' preseason schedule concludes with road games against the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic.
- Oct. 10: New Orleans vs. Orlando, Smoothie King Center, 7 p.m.
- Oct. 12: New Orleans at Atlanta, Legacy Arena, 7 p.m.
- Oct. 14: New Orleans at Atlanta, Gateway Center, 2:30 p.m.
- Oct. 17: New Orleans at Orlando, Amway Center, 6 p.m.
This marks the second straight year the Pelicans will play a preseason game at the Legacy Arena. The Pelicans’ G League affiliate, the Squadron, relocated to Birmingham in 2021.
The Pelicans faced the Hawks in Birmingham last year during the preseason. The game was a sellout.
The Pelicans have multiple players on their roster with Alabama ties, including forward Herb Jones, who was a four-year standout with the Crimson Tide before New Orleans took him 35th overall in 2021.
