NBA season returns in two months.

The NBA officially revealed the full 2017-18 season schedule yesterday, just a little over two months before the NBA season tips off.

The league had previously teased a portion of the schedule, including the opening week schedule and the five Christmas Day games, which are as follows:

Of course, we'll all be tuned in on the NBA's opening night, October 17th, and the NBA Finals rematch on Christmas Day will be appointment television, but there's much more dates you'll want to circle on your calendar for the upcoming season.
