Tickets for Chicago Bulls vs. Los Angeles Lakers are scheduled to go on sale Sept. 17.

Bulls-Lakers games bring together two franchises with extensive championship histories and global fan bases. Although the teams play in opposite conferences and do not meet as frequently as divisional opponents, that limited regular-season schedule can make a Lakers visit to Chicago particularly appealing to local basketball fans.

The Jan. 2 date also places the matchup in the middle of the holiday period, providing an entertainment option for fans spending the beginning of 2027 in Chicago. United Center has been the Bulls’ home since 1994 and remains closely connected to the franchise’s history, making it a destination for both local supporters and visiting NBA fans.

Buyers interested in attending can compare available seating throughout United Center, from locations closer to the court to upper-level options at different price points, as the January game approaches.
