The Dallas Mavericks vs. San Antonio Spurs game is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2026, at American Airlines Center in Dallas. The confirmed start is 7:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time in Dallas (CDT, UTC−05:00), equal to 00:00 UTC on Sunday, October 25. The NBA game page and the event listing confirm the matchup and timing. The latest official injury report available at the time of this update still lists both teams as not yet submitted for this game, so it does not confirm any player as available, questionable, or out.
The NBA game page lists the fixture for Saturday, October 24, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Ticketmaster’s event page lists a 7:00 p.m. start at American Airlines Center in Dallas. Those are the same moment: Dallas is one hour behind Eastern Time on this date, so the local listing is 7:00 p.m. CDT (UTC−05:00), while the Eastern listing is 8:00 p.m. EDT (UTC−04:00). In UTC, the tipoff is 00:00 on Sunday, October 25.
Dallas is still on daylight time for this game. The National Institute of Standards and Technology states that U.S. daylight saving time in 2026 runs from March 8 until November 1, when clocks turn back at 2:00 a.m. local time. That makes UTC−05:00 the correct Dallas offset on October 24; Central Standard Time’s UTC−06:00 offset does not apply yet. Readers using calendars outside Dallas should retain both the local Saturday date and the UTC Sunday date, because conversion may move the event to October 25 in their region.
For a final timing check, compare the NBA game page with the Ticketmaster event listing. The latter identifies American Airlines Center as the venue and gives the Dallas event time. This article treats Dallas time as the venue time and UTC as the international reference; it does not convert the event to an unspecified reader market.
The NBA’s official injury-report page says reports are refreshed throughout the day. At the time of this update, the latest posted report available for the Saturday SAS@DAL game was stamped Friday, October 23, 2026, at 7:45 p.m. Eastern Time (EDT, UTC−04:00). That is 6:45 p.m. CDT in Dallas and 23:45 UTC on Friday. The report’s Saturday 8:00 p.m. ET SAS@DAL entry lists both the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks as not yet submitted.
This corrects the earlier article’s report timestamp: the latest linked PDF we could verify on the NBA page is labeled 7:45 p.m. ET, rather than 8:00 p.m. ET. The availability finding itself remains pending. The report does not identify any player as available, questionable, doubtful, or out for this specific matchup. Do not use a status from either team’s Friday game as a substitute for its Saturday report, and do not interpret “not yet submitted” as either a clean bill of health or confirmation that a player will miss the game.
Both teams were also scheduled on Friday, October 23: the NBA report lists Dallas at Indiana and Houston at San Antonio before Saturday’s Dallas–San Antonio meeting. Under the NBA’s reporting rules, teams playing the second game of a back-to-back must submit player statuses by 1:00 p.m. local time on game day. For this matchup, that deadline is 1:00 p.m. CDT in Dallas (UTC−05:00), or 18:00 UTC on Saturday, October 24. The league says the report can be updated throughout the day, so check the official NBA injury-report page and its latest linked October 23, 7:45 p.m. ET PDF for changes. Starting lineups are a separate update and may appear closer to tipoff.
The game-specific injury-report entry does not announce a suspension; it only shows that the teams had not yet submitted their player-status information in that report. No suspension affecting this matchup was confirmed in the official materials reviewed for this update. Because injury reports and disciplinary announcements serve different purposes, readers should not treat a pending injury report as proof that there are no suspensions or other roster changes. Check official NBA announcements and the teams’ own game-day updates for any later disciplinary notice.
Dallas and San Antonio share the NBA’s Southwest Division, so this is both a Texas matchup and an early divisional game. It arrives in the first week of the 2026–27 regular season. One result can start the new campaign, but it cannot settle a playoff race or establish how the division will finish.
San Antonio enters the season after reaching the 2026 NBA Finals. The Spurs faced the New York Knicks, who won the series 4–1, according to the NBA’s official 2026 playoff and Finals schedule. That Finals run is useful context for the Spurs’ recent season, not a prediction about this game. Availability for the Dallas matchup remains unconfirmed until the teams’ game-specific report is submitted and updated.
The NBA’s 2026–27 schedule release points fans to its Tap to Watch service for game viewing options, including local, national, international, and NBA League Pass telecasts. The league’s general schedule information says League Pass carries live out-of-market games, but availability can depend on a viewer’s country, service territory, and blackout rules. Use the NBA game page or the league’s official broadcast schedule to check the option for your location rather than assuming one U.S. listing applies everywhere.
For in-person attendance, Ticketmaster’s official event page is the place to confirm current ticket availability and venue notices. The NBA’s 2026–27 schedule announcement links to the league’s schedules and Tap to Watch information. Dallas time remains Saturday evening even though UTC and many international calendars show the game on Sunday.
Before tipoff, check three items: the 7:00 p.m. CDT start in Dallas, the newest game-specific NBA injury report, and the confirmed starting lineups. The most recent report reviewed still showed both teams as not yet submitted, and no player availability or suspension should be inferred from that status.
