After an offseason of incremental improvements and a Summer League showing that went much better than anticipated, I speak for a great many fans here when I say I can’t wait to see the Chicago Bulls back out there on the court. Unfortunately, Chicago was unable to land a primetime television slot on opening night or Christmas Day, but we should have some good news in store very soon.
Although we remain more than two months away from opening night for the 2023-24 season, we are at the very least set to receive the official schedule for next season within the next 24 hours. This year’s schedule has been particularly interesting, as the inclusion of the NBA’s first-ever In-Season Tournament has thrown an added twist on what to expect.
Hopefully, this event proves to spark some excitement in the early portion of the year, as the NBA’s grueling 82-game schedule has struggled to entice fans to watch each game of the season in the past. Whether or not it proves to be a smash hit with the fans, I hope at the very least that Chicago can use this as extra motivation to improve upon their disappointing 40-42 record from last season.

Here’s Chicago’s schedule for the In-Season Tournament, where they will compete against the rest of East Group C.
If the Bulls win East Group C or emerge as the wild card in the East, they will advance to the knockout rounds on Dec. 4 and 5. From there, the semi-finals will be held on Dec. 7, and the finals on Dec. 9, both taking place in Las Vegas for a cash prize. If they doni’t advance to the knockout stage, they’ll have two additional regular season games flexed in on Dec. 6 and 8th.
