The NBA Returns to Mexico: Nuggets and Pacers will play in Mexico City in November

The NBA has announced that the Denver Nuggets and the Indiana Pacers will play a regular-season game in Mexico City on November 7, as part of its global strategy.

This game will be the 35th hosted by the league in Mexican territory since 1992, and the 16th regular-season matchup. Apart from the United States and Canada, no other country has hosted more NBA games than Mexico, establishing itself as a key international market.

Raul Zarraga, Senior Vice President of NBA Latin America, highlighted the significance of the event: "Organizing the 35th game in the country reflects the depth of the NBA's relationship with Mexico and the role this event plays in bringing the global game closer to fans locally, throughout Latin America, and around the world."

For Denver, it will be their second experience in Mexico, following a preseason game in Monterrey in 2006 against Golden State. Meanwhile, Indiana will debut in the country, becoming the 23rd franchise to play there.

Special NBA Game in Mexico

The game will also take place during a particularly significant week, coinciding with the festivities of Día de Muertos, one of Mexico's most important cultural moments, adding a special context to the event.

The NBA's international venture doesn't stop there. The league has also confirmed that the upcoming season will feature regular-season games in Paris and Manchester, further solidifying its presence in Europe and expanding its global reach.
